Foxytunes lets you control almost any media player and find lyrics, covers, videos, bios and much more with a click right from your browser.
Foxytunes can either be download from their website or via the Firefox add-on section. Either way this free download is a must for all web users!
Today Yahoo have announced the release of the brand new version of FoxyTunes, in which they purchased back in February.
The new version is for IE (fresh beta) and it has some great new customisation option to boot. Now you can change the appearance of your FoxyTunes by installing custom skins (we’ve already got 11 skins available) and down the road you’ll be able to create your very own. We’ve even added a FoxyTunes Mini, basically a universal desktop widget that’s a customizable, collapsible, and skinnable version of its big bro. The best part — there’s a timer and alarm clock feature that lets you set your media player to your favorite song.

Yahoo have been in the news a lot lately, with Microsoft trying to buy out the company, while at the same time they have been making smaller headlines of their own. Today Yahoo made two announcements, they are going to stop their current music service and partner with Rhapsody to provide a new service, and they have also purchased FoxyTunes, a developer of a tool-bar plug-in that enables users to control more than 30 desktop and Web-based music players.
This makes an acquisition by Microsoft all the more interesting since Rhapsody and the Zune Marketplace would become a sibling rivalry. With relevance to FoxyTunes none of the details have been released, but we will let you know more when the information becomes available.
