Overview
RangerHQ Tuner is a lightweight indie internet radio player that lives in your Chrome toolbar. It plays SomaFM's listener-supported indie radio network and logs every track that comes through so you can find your favourites later.
✦ Toolbar player — click the helmet icon, pick a station, music starts. Audio keeps playing after the popup closes.
✦ New Tab Page — every new tab becomes a Tuner landing with live clock, station picker, history, and favourites. (Optional; replaces Chrome's default new tab.)
✦ Track history — RangerHQ Tuner logs the artist and title of every track that plays on SomaFM, up to 500 tracks (configurable 50–500).
✦ One-click search to the big four — next to every history entry, four buttons open public search results in a new tab: *Spotify*, *YouTube*, *Apple Music*, and *Bandcamp*. No accounts, no API keys, no Premium required. You find the track; the destination service plays it.
✦ Favourites — star any heard track to keep it forever.
✦ Settings page — clear history, clear favourites, clear everything, adjust the history cap, see how much local storage RangerHQ Tuner is using.
