About:
QuickTune is a modern controller for Apple Music that recreates the interface and functionality of the classic QuickTime 7 player. It provides a compact, floating window with essential playback controls, allowing you to manage your music without the clutter of the main Music app. The tool focuses on speed and simplicity, making it ideal for users who want quick access to playback functions.

Key Features:

Compact, floating player window
Classic QuickTime 7 style interface
Full Apple Music library integration
Minimalist and distraction-free design

Use Cases:

Controlling music playback without opening the full Music app
Using a lightweight player for background listening
Quickly accessing playlists and tracks from the menu bar

Alternatives:

Music.app – The native Apple Music app is more feature-rich but significantly heavier and less focused on simple playback control.
Swinsian – A powerful music library manager for macOS, but it focuses on local library organization rather than streaming service control.
