Plug Description

Plug is a simple, elegant and easy-to-use Mac OS X desktop player for The Hype Machine music aggregation website. Plug allows you to play latest or popular tracks on The Hype Machine, add them to favorites, and search the The Hype Machine database. Furthermore, Plug features a highly intuitive and compact user interface comprised of a left pane (which lists popular songs, your favorites, latest songs and the search module), the main pane and player interface. Additionally, Plug provides a handy menu bar panel that displays what's currently playing, the elapsed / total time and provides several buttons to control the playback or add the track to your favorites. The main pane lists all song entries, including artist / song name and thumbnail. You can click on the upper bar where “Popular” is seen in order to choose which popular songs to be displayed. You have four options: currently popular, from last week, non-remixed songs or remixed-only tracks. On the lower side of the main window, you can access the built-in player’s interface. The player includes the next, play / pause, previous, favorite, shuffle and share buttons, as well as the progress bar with elapsed / total time tracker. A slider for adjusting the volume is also included. The list of features also includes the ability to click on a particular song and view who blogged it. The most relevant blogger is displayed first and the rest can be accessed in a link below the first blog’s name. Moreover, clicking on the blog’s link will open it in your default browser. Plug also includes a “Share” button that enables you to copy the link to the song, email it using your default email client, add it to a conversation in the Messages app or tweet it. What’s also great about Plug is that it shows you how many people have added songs to favorites, but only in the Search and Latest modules. It also makes it really easy to play songs simply by clicking on their thumbnail.
