This extension takes the name of the musician or band you are reading about on Wikipedia, and loads a Spotify music player with songs by that artist so you can listen to their music for free, right in the browser! Just click on the Spotipedia button when you are on a musician, band or singer's page on Wikipedia.org.
Millions of people use Wikipedia to learn about their favorite artists, and many use it to explore and discover other related artists in the world of music. Now, with Spotipedia for Chrome, you can actually LISTEN to the music of the artist you are reading about!
* You'll need the Spotify desktop app (FREE) to listen to the music. This can be downloaded by clicking on the Spotify link in the popup window. Spotify may not be available in all countries.

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
