Music
BackgroundMusic
Automatically pause your music when another audio source starts, set each app’s volumes individually, and record system audio.
Boring Notch
Put the notch in your MacBook to good use by having it display info about the song you’re listening to — including album art and controls.
iTunes Alarm
Not only puts you to sleep and wakes you up, but does the same for your Mac. This app plays the music of your choice as you fall asleep, then puts your Mac to sleep at the time you designate. Later, it can wake your Mac and play another song (or radio station) to wake you up. There’s even a snooze button.
Lyric Fever
Keep an eye on a song’s lyrics in real-time in the menu bar while it plays on Apple Music or Spotify. Can customize to make sure it fits.
Mashduo
Compare your iTunes library with a friend’s and see which songs you don’t have in common. Or use it to make sure your own libraries are in sync. Also helps with making sure a migration goes well.
MediaHuman Lyrics Finder
Find and add missing lyrics to songs in your music library. Won’t overwrite current lyrics. Drag and drop tracks from your favorite music player (e.g. iTunes) and the app does the rest.
noTunes
Annoyed by iTunes or Apple Music starting up when you don’t want it to? This app will stop it.
Picard
Organize your music collection with tags based on the MusicBrainz database. Features include CD look-ups and cover art.
Poolsuite
Listen to upbeat, uninterrupted music on five different channels: default, Indie Summer, Hangover Club, Tokyo Disco and Friday Nite Heat. Also available are the latest 20 tracks, and a spot for your favourites.
Radiola
A lightweight app for easy access to your favourite Internet radio stations. Includes a player and a history of the song you’ve listened to.
Reflex
Set up your media and volume keys so they always work with either Apple Music or Spotify.
RGB MusicLab
Ever wonder what a musical Mona Lisa would sound like? RGB MusicLab takes the pixels in a painting, judges their colours and brightness, then interprets them to create music. Don’t like what you hear? There are many options to adjust your final composition.
Shazam
Click on Shazam to listen to any music playing on your computer, or within earshot. It will give you the name and artist.
