Spotify and Last.fm. Spotify controls that live in your menubar. Here is a free MAC app to control iTunes, Spotify from menu bar. Use it to preview the currently playing song in iTunes, Spotify with playback. This Mac app creates a menu bar shortcut to control iTunes, Rdio, and Spotify. Not only does it come with. I was also frustrated by having to open Spotify to see what's playing, so I built an app. This app lets you control the player, and it also works with iTunes. Instead of showing the text in the menu bar itself, it shows it in a popover window when you click. Click the track artwork to open the main Spotify GUI.
When will you release the non-beta version of Bartender 4?
Unfortunately we do not have a date for this.
Due to the huge changes in macOS Big Sur, Bartender 4 had to be completely written from its core out to work with the new macOS. However some of our planned features are not yet ready, as such we are releasing as a public beta with the core features as we continue work on more exciting features. As soon as these are in we will release the full version.

Having to open iTunes when you are simply playing music can sometimes be a hassle, especially if you are on a Mac with a smaller screen. Sure, you could minimize or hide the window, but what about switching songs? You would have to open up your iTunes window again. That’s where Skip Tunes ($0.99, Mac App Store) comes into play.
Overview
Skip Tunes is a very simple way to switch through music, pause, view album artwork, and more. The small icon in your Mac’s menu bar looks good and is not intrusive by any means. Skip Tunes is really well designed and is very simple to use. It doesn’t take more than thirty seconds to figure out what to do. This application is not just limited to iTunes, this application supports Spotify as well.
Is it worth it?
Spotify Controls On Taskbar
At first glance, yes the application is definitely worth it. Although, it is missing one thing: the ability to buffer through songs from the menu (pictured above, blue line). Once you play the song, there is no way to skip around through it from the menu bar. You actually have to open iTunes and skim through it. I imagine this is fairly simple to implement and it would be a great addition to the next version. I did in fact contact the developers of this application and he did say that they were “probably going to add the ability to “buffer” through songs soon.”
Verdict
Rating: 4/5[rating:4]
Control Spotify In Mac Menu Bar Google Chrome
This is a great buy for the price, especially compared to most other Mac apps. With buffering coming in a future update, it is definitely worth the price, especially while it is on sale ($0.99, Mac App Store).
