Menu Spot II

Menu Spot II is a handy app for Spotify users on macOS. Even though Apple Music is super integrated into the system, Spotify still has a big fan base. But here’s the thing—Spotify doesn’t blend in as nicely with macOS. That’s why developers are stepping in with cool apps to boost your listening experience.

Control Playback Easily

This app makes it easy to manage your music playback and keep track of what you’re listening to. It shows song details right in the menu bar, so you always know what’s playing. Plus, it gives you basic controls and some nifty hotkeys to make life easier.

Ads? No Problem!

If you're using the free version of Spotify and those ads are driving you crazy, Menu Spot has got your back! The app can mute those pesky ads automatically when they start playing. Just think about it—enjoying your music without interruptions!

Simple Song Info Display

With the latest updates, like Big Sur, there’s a new icon for controlling playback and checking track info. But honestly, it's still a hassle to click through just to see what's playing. Menu Spot fixes that by showing the song title and artist right in the menu bar all the time! You can even hide the artist's name if you want a cleaner look.

A Closer Look at Album Art

If you're curious about album art or want more controls, just click on the app's icon! You’ll get a nice peek at the album cover along with additional playback options. And guess what? Most of these options are accessible through keyboard shortcuts too.

Understanding Its Features

Menu Spot has some neat features up its sleeve but nothing too wild. It's fantastic for keeping an eye on song info while muting Spotify ads—assuming those features don't break after an update. The shortcuts are handy but would be even better if they were customizable.

If you're looking for an easy way to enhance your Spotify experience on Mac, give Menu Spot II a try!
