Music is meant to be listened to — without getting in the way of your daily tasks.

Check out these Mac Menu Bar Music Apps:

BeardedSpice

Beardedspice

BeardedSpice allows you to control web-based media players and some native apps (including iTunes, Spotify, VLC, Vox, and Downcast) with the media keys found on Mac keyboards. In other words: It wrests control of your media keys from iTunes and hands it back to you.

Breakaway

Breakaway

Breakaway lets you control iTunes via the volume control buttons and the headphone jack. The app even pauses the song playing in iTunes when you pull your headphones from the jack. When you plug them back in, your song will automatically resume from where it left off.
