[REQ] Right click display in Spotify [#17589]

I like looking for new music. When I hear a good song in MM, it would be great if I right-click to open Spotify. So far I have always had to copy the title and artist and paste them into Spotify. That would optimize my workflow.

Good point. We have an addon to open links in particular search engines (

Thank you for adding that.
I know the list with the many links. It would also make sense here to select what is needed in the settings. For me all I need is Spotify. It would be nice if you could set what the user was needed in the settings. Makes the popup clearer.
Who needs 9 x Amazon etc.?

You're able to change it by going to Tools>Addons, searching for Show Links, and clicking the gear to open the configuration panel. The label "show links in file list" should be updated; what it really does is change the default action when you left click on the link.

What are you referring to? I don't follow.

I'm not using the Show Links 1.0.1 plugin.
With 9 x Amazon I mean this. I haven't found a way to shorten the list.

Your screenshot seems MM4, not MM5 with the showLinks addon.

Is it true it's from MMW 4. But for me it was mainly about the connection to Spotify to be able to find new music faster.

OK, so just install this version of the showLinks addon:

where I added the Spotify as configurable source.

I installed the plugin in MMW5 portable. I can't see it anywhere. Right-clicking on a song opens a lot, but no link to Spotify. Or did I miss something?
However, I would like this to be included as standard in MMW5.
I have set Spotify in the plugin.

Right here!
Also, nice subtle rickroll.
