You can watch a video about this feature (and also watch it in Spanish).
Or jump straight in and get Mixlr for Google Chrome now.

Mixlr for Google Chrome is easy to install, and works on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. After you’ve installed it, you’ll see a Mixlr icon appear in the top-right of your browser.

Click on the icon and you’ll get a list of the current live broadcasts on Mixlr, right inside Chrome. It’s easy to flick through the live broadcasts and find one that you like.
You can use the new and popular links at the top of the popup window to sort the live broadcasts. And it’s easy to keep track of which broadcasts you’ve listened to: they are displayed in a slightly different colour.
When you listen to a broadcast, Mixlr will open it in a special pinned tab in the top-left corner of Chrome. This makes it easy to find the current broadcast whenever you want.

Live broadcast notifications for all.

Live broadcasts are a one-off event, so it’s vital to be able to find out when a broadcast you want to listen to is on-air, and join in the fun. To help you do this, we’ve also added desktop notifications for Mixlr broadcasts to Google Chrome.

Every time a live broadcast starts, you’ll see a notification pop up in Google Chrome. Just click on the notification to listen to the broadcast.

And don’t worry: if drum’n’bass leaves you with a sad face, or funk simply fails to sooth your soul, it’s easy to control your notifications. Just click on Notification settings, and de-select the categories you want to hide. These categories will no longer appear in the popup menu, or desktop notifications.

It’s even possible to enable notifications of new comments on the live broadcast you’re listening to, if you find it useful.

Feedback welcome.

We hope you find our integration with Google Chrome to be useful and fun. It’s certainly changed the way we use our own service, and we think you’ll like it too.

If you’ve got feedback, ideas or suggestions then as usual – we’d love to hear them. Hit us on Facebook or Twitter and let us know what you think.

Happy listening.
