Review Summary
Online Music Control is praised for enabling convenient music control via hotkeys, especially for Yandex Music and Radio, with good background operation and hardware key support. However, multiple users report issues with VK integration causing bugs, missing support for popular services like Spotify and YouTube Music, and some functionality problems on Mac OS and in background mode. Annoying notifications and occasional breakage after browser updates were also reported. Overall, users appreciate its usefulness but desire expanded platform support and improved stability.
