Customize your controls through the menu :

  • Minimal

  • Add the switch button between iTunes and Spotify playback (MusicBar automatically pauses the player you are not using to prevent double playing)

  • Display track informations (artist & song title)

  • Display and edit iTunes star rating

  • All this accessed through the menu

Set MusicBar to launch automatically at login in the Other Settings menu

Search for the track you are listening on :

  • iTunes : for ex. if you are listening on Spotify and want to buy the track
  • Youtube : in case some people (not I of course :) might want to use this mp3 downloading extension ⇨ pointmp3
  • Last.fm : an online music database / social network

And lastly … the awesome black style :)

About MusicBar

MusicBar is the first product from Tungsten…
Ok, it’s a joke. Special dedicace @ Ivan & Simon, 2 friends of mine who love to talk about launching a startup (we even found the name), but when it comes to actually doing something … ;)

I actually started this project for 2 partly related reasons :

  • I did a little bit of coding while learning aerospace engineering (so a while back), but when I got interested in neural networks (like everyone else in the world it seems) I had to rediscover the wonderful world of coding. The real estate on my old MacBook was ridiculous, especially to code, so I bought a new Mac. And that’s when I discovered that my favorite menubar app was no longer supported : you-control-tunes. So I took it as challenge and decided I would rebuild my own version of it as an exercise.
  • Also, as I mentioned above, a couple of friends and me were looking for the next big idea to launch a start up, and looking into how to build an app distributable through the Appstore sounded like a good idea, just to see what’s involved.
