2. Search & Play Songs (Most Common)

bash

# Step 1: Open JOOX
agent-browser open https://www.joox.com/hk

# Step 2: Get page elements
agent-browser snapshot -i
# Find search box: textbox "搜尋歌曲、歌手、專輯、歌單" [ref=eN]

# Step 3: Enter search keywords
agent-browser fill @eN "陈奕迅 十年"
agent-browser press Enter
agent-browser wait 2000

# Step 4: View search results
agent-browser snapshot -i
# Results page has category tabs: All / Songs / Artists / Albums / Playlists
# Find the target song link and click it

# Step 5: Click play on the song detail page
agent-browser snapshot -i
# Find button " 播放" and click it

Search Tips:

Chinese keywords are fully supported
You can search by song name, artist name, album name, or playlist name
Recommended format: Artist SongName or just the song name

⚠️ Important: Avoid Playing the Wrong Version

Search results may contain multiple versions of the same song (different artists, Live versions, cover versions, etc.). Do NOT click the song name link directly because:

Clicking the song name opens the song detail page, but it may not be the version you want
Different versions share the same song name, causing confusion

Correct Playback Method:

bash

# Improved Step 4: Switch to Songs tab to view the full song list
agent-browser find role button click --name "Songs"
agent-browser wait 1500
agent-browser snapshot -i

# Review the song list and verify the artist name
# Each song format: Song Name - Artist Name - Play Button

# Click the play button (▶️) within the target song row, NOT the song name
# The play button is usually on the far right of the song row
agent-browser click @eXX   # Play button ref for the target song

How to Identify Song Versions:

Check if the artist name matches (e.g., link "陳奕迅")
Pay attention to annotations in parentheses: (國) = Mandarin version, (Live) = Live version
Prefer the original version (no annotation) or Mandarin version marked (國)

Important Notes

⚠️ Login Check: Always check login status before playback! Prompt the user to login if not logged in

Refs Change: Refs change after every page navigation; always re-run snapshot -i to get new refs
Search Box Ref: The search box is usually the first textbox on the page, described as 搜尋歌曲、歌手、專輯、歌單
Player Controls: Use find role button click --name "xxx" to locate player buttons — more stable than refs
Wait for Loading: Always wait 2000 after page navigation or search to allow content to load
VIP Songs: Some songs require VIP membership for full playback
Region Restrictions: Different regions have different song libraries; some songs may not be available in certain regions
