A little over two years ago we embarked on a project called TwittyTunes. This addition to FoxyTunes was an experiment in letting people share what they listen to by posting to Twitter. Over time we’ve received lots of great feedback about TwittyTunes and have seen healthy use in our community. Thank you!

Today we’re excited to announce that TwittyTunes is officially a default feature within FoxyTunes! In addition to Twitter we’ve add support for Facebook, Skype, Yahoo! Messenger, Last.fm, and Yahoo! Status. With these services we let you share on your own terms – you can manually send messages to your social networks as well as setting up automatic services like Last.fm scrobbling. Install the new FoxyTunes now and begin by clicking on the share button shown below:

FoxyTunes is still the easiest way to share what you’re listening to. With one click you can let your friends on multiple social networks know what you’re listening to.

You can also automatically update your Skype and Yahoo! Messenger statuses while scrobbling directly to Last.fm.

This is a big step in sharing music on the web. It connects you and your friends with your music in real-time across the web. You can discover what your friends are listening to no matter where they listen to it – then get more info about the music through FoxyTunes Planet and Y! Music. Share more and discover great music!

We will be working hard over the coming months to add more services to TwittyTunes and make your sharing experience even simpler and easier. As always, please let us know what you think of this new major version of FoxyTunes. Also, we would love to hear what services should be in our next release. We thrive on your comments.

If you like it, tell your friends!

Download FoxyTunes for Firefox

First, if you haven’t tried Last.fm yet, you should definitely check it out – it’s a great service that can help you discover a lot of new music.

We really like Last.fm and from the many emails we received asking for Last.fm Player support in FoxyTunes, it’s pretty clear that you like it too!

So, with the latest version of FoxyTunes for Firefox, you get one click access to your Last.fm player right from the browser.

The new FoxyTunes will let you:

• See what’s playing in your Last.fm player
• Skip tracks and control the volume
• Launch and show your Last.fm player with one click

You can get the new FoxyTunes version with Last.fm Player support here.

We’ll be adding Last.fm Player support to FoxyTunes for IE soon.

P.S. Our new site, FoxyTunes Planet, has a cool Last.fm widget – sign up for the private beta and check it out!

[edit] A tiny clarification: this version of FoxyTunes supports the Last.fm Player. It doesn’t submit your song info to Last.fm and doesn’t replace any Audioscrobbler plugins.
