Music Control
Music Control is a macOS utility designed to control playback of music and audio from your Mac's menu bar. It provides quick access to pause, play, skip and volume controls for the system's default music player or any compatible audio application, allowing users to manage playback without switching away from their current active window or application. The app sits in the menu bar for convenient, always-accessible control of music playback.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find detailed information about Music Control's Apple Silicon support status in the available search results. If you rely on this app, the most reliable way to confirm whether a native build exists is to contact the developer directly or check their product page, asking specifically whether they have released a native Apple Silicon (arm64) version or have one planned. This becomes increasingly important because Apple will be removing Rosetta 2 support in macOS 28, scheduled for September 2028 — at that point, any Intel-only app will simply stop launching. As a contingency, consider that many of Music Control's features are now built into macOS itself: you can control playback using the Control Center in the menu bar, Siri voice commands, or keyboard media keys. If you need third-party menu-bar music controls, apps like Vinyls or NepTunes offer similar functionality and have confirmed native Apple Silicon support.
