Got @soor_app for Mac to a workable state. There’s so much broken in Apple’s MediaPlayer API on macOS that adding workarounds for every aspect of playback was needed.
But worth it as a native catalyst app feels very fluid. DM me if you’d like to test out an early trial version.
Soor (@soor_app) now comes with live insights.
Live insights makes use of the live activities API in iOS 16.1 to show you real-time insights about the currently playing track, right on your lock screen.

Most music players have an audio source button but what if that button also shows current volume & allow you to adjust it with a gesture?
Built this little interactive control in @soor_app that behaves like a regular button for AirPlay options but also acts as an volume control.

Music* widget -- Shows you the currently playing song from stock Music.app.
Maintains a clean minimal look. But as soon as you hover shows additional playback controls.

I wrote about the excellent Music widgets of @soor_app which, unlike Apple's Music app, has a Now Playing widget and supports magic mixes with filters.
Here's how I use them: macstories.net/stories/using…
If you prefer to just use the stock Music app but want to use Soor widgets now you can. The Now Playing and Collection widget can be configured to open items in stock music app.
Soor v2.2 brings several widget improvements:
- Playback controls in the now playing widget.
- Magic Mixes from widget now plays without the app remaining open.
