With Nuvola Player you will never accidentally close web browser with playing music and window with your music is easily accessible from your dock/task bar instead of tab bar of your web browser.

Notifications

Nuvola Player shows notifications with currently playing song (Ubuntu, GNOME Fallback mode, GNOME Shell).

MPRIS interface

MPRIS interface is used by applets, plasmoids and other applications (called MPRIS clients) to control running media players. GNOME Shell Media player indicator and Ubuntu sound indicator are good examples of MPRIS clients.
