Quickly open Spotify Album URI in Google Docs

The Yohoi Spotify Search Accelerator now works for the Spotify album URI in Google Docs.

Spotify has for a time now, published new releases to their music database in Google Doc tables. The URI in the Google Doc is just a text, and not clickable, so you will need to copy/paste the URI into Spotify.

With the Spotify Accelerator, you select the text, and open the Yohoi Spotify Accelerator Preview window. There you will find the link.

Yohoi IE8 Accelerators for Spotify and last.fm Released

A useful tool for Spotify

Getting rid of all those copy/paste key combinations using IE8 Accelerators.

One of the great new features of Internet Explorer 8, is the Accelerators.

As a music lover and programmer, I was starting to get really tired of copy/pasting artist and track information into the Spotify search field and decided to create a tool for it.

Especially for someone like myself, who just have to get through album and track lists I find on the web.
With the Yohoi Spotify Accelerator, I can now select either small amount of text, or a list, f.ex. from a list like http://www.yohoi.com/lists/1001AlbumsYouMustHereBeforeYouDie.html

Creating this web site was really worth it :)

The Accelerator is available at http://www.yohoi.com/. Thanks to a nifty Firefox addon, the Accelerator can also be used in that browser!

You are welcome to try it out!

P.S. It also has a Preview window :
