Which tab is playing that song? I built a GNOME extension to answer that

说明与用途

Earful 将每个浏览器标签页转换为独立的媒体播放器，简化 GNOME 中的控制，减少 Alt+Tab 的使用。

问题

When a song plays in a browser or media app, GNOME’s media controls treat all tabs as one player, making it hard to pause or control the correct tab.

结果

Earful enables per‑tab media control in GNOME, reducing Alt+Tab usage and improving workflow for developers listening to music or podcasts.

工作流

• Install Earful via curl script
• Restart GNOME Shell
• Open multiple media tabs/apps
• Use Earful’s top‑bar list to identify and control the desired player

证据

GNOME's media control sees a whole browser as one player. Three YouTube tabs, one row.

来源

Every tab is its own player. Three YouTube tabs, three rows, each with play, pause, next and volume.

来源

Linux players already share what they play through MPRIS, a standard D‑Bus interface. Earful listens to it, so Spotify, VLC and browsers show up on their own.
