TrayPlay

TrayPlay is a super simple macOS app that hangs out in your status bar. It lets you control your iTunes or Spotify music without needing to mess around with the app itself.

Getting Started with TrayPlay

To use TrayPlay, you just need to have either iTunes or Spotify installed and set up on your computer. It’s really easy! You won’t even have to open them manually. Just head over to the TrayPlay Settings, pick which music player you want to control, and TrayPlay will take care of launching it for you.

Easy Setup Options

This handy utility can also add itself to your login items. Plus, you can turn on automatic updates if you want to keep everything fresh and running smoothly.

Customization Limits

Now, here's the thing: TrayPlay has some limits when it comes to customization. You can't change how the status bar looks, set hotkeys, adjust the volume, or choose what track info shows up. But that doesn’t mean it’s not useful!

Control Your Music Effortlessly

When you bring up the TrayPlay panel in your status bar, you'll see details like the current track's name, who sings it, and even album artwork. You can easily play or pause music and skip tracks right from there!

Using with iTunes and Spotify

This feature works for both iTunes and Spotify music players; however, keep in mind that you can only control one at a time. Even so, using TrayPlay makes controlling your music way less repetitive.

Your Music at a Glance

If you're looking to quickly check what song is playing or switch tracks in your playlists without hassle, then TrayPlay is perfect for you! Just remember that while it's great for basic controls, it could be even better with some extra customization options.
