About:
Music Widget is a modern recreation of the classic iTunes widget originally designed for the macOS Dashboard. It provides a compact, interactive interface for controlling music playback directly from the desktop or menu bar. This tool is ideal for users who appreciate the nostalgic functionality of Dashboard widgets and want quick access to their music library without a full player window.
Key Features:
  • Playback controls (play/pause, next, previous)
  • Current track display with album art
  • Volume control integration
  • Compact, widget-style interface
Use Cases:
  • Quickly controlling music playback while working in other applications
  • Adding a nostalgic, functional widget to a modern macOS desktop
Alternatives:
  • NowPlaying – A menu bar app for displaying track info, but lacks direct playback controls
  • Spotify Web Player – Full-featured player but requires a browser and is less lightweight
