Mario Guzman is a fairly nostalgic application developer. He developed Music MiniPlayer: a macOS application that allows you to listen to music like iTunes 10, released for the first time in 2010. iTunes which had been killed by Apple in 2019, or rather split between various applications, like Apple Music, Apple Podcasts and Apple TV.
Music MiniPlayer: an interface of the macOS Music application
In reality, Music MiniPlayer is not an independent application, but in fact interfaces with the Music application found natively on macOS. It was developed using AppKit and Swift. Mario Guzman announces that “ all UI is drawn in code using Core Graphics and Core Animation to achieve crisp detail for both Retina and non-Retina displays “. A good idea since in twelve years, the screens have improved a lot.
You can therefore use this player to control Apple Music and have just what you need for that: pause the music, go to the next track, return to the previous track, control the volume. The progress of the track being played as well as its credits are also displayed (artist, track, album). You can leave this player wherever you want on your screen in front of the windows you use.
A modernized version of iTunes 10
As Mario Guzman details about his application, it ” lets you play another playlist without having to open the main Apple Music window “. Random and repeat modes are also available in this same menu. The interface also supports live streaming via Apple Music Hits or FM.
Music MiniPlayer is therefore available for free on the site of Mario Guzman, its developer. If you are nostalgic for this player, go download it and enjoy your music!
