  • Ugly :x

    I love Bar Tunes but the icons are so ugly compared to everything else in the menu bar. Can you allow different icon designs? Or just make the icons more inline with apple's design guidelines? I'm sure they even provide some in their new icon libraries. There was another app similar to Bar Tunes called Synergy back in the day that let you install custom icons which was great because I like the icons taking up as little room as possible. Some of the designs grouped the three icons together so they take up less precious horizontal menu bar space. Would love to see something like that here. Thanks!

  • Does a great job putting iTunes controls at your fingertips!

    This little menubar app is delightful. I have had it installed at work and at home for several years, and it does a great job putting the music controls at your fingertips. Thanks!

    But the icons are so big and ugly. I wish they would offer a choice of what icons to display. Also sometimes other programs/features you have in your menu bar will get inbetween the four different icons BarTunes uses which can turn into a mess. You can cmd drag the icons around in the tool bar but it's weird that it behaves as four separate icons.

  • Fixed for Catalina and now perfect

    The app broke with the Catalina upgrade. I reached out to the developer and received an email when the updated version was uploaded to the app store. This is a great app that allows you to control the Music app (formerly iTunes) from the menu bar.

  • Awesome Little App

    I was so pleased to see that BarTunes was updated for the transition from iTunes to Music. Often little apps kinda die when there are radical changes. Love BarTunes.

  • Works perfectly

    Thanks to the developer for updating to Catalina. No longer opens iTunes/Music, but that is because of Apple.... everything else is right on point... very handy....

  • Doesn't work with Catalina

    This app broke when Apple changed the name of iTunes to Music. After repeated attempts to contact the dev, no response.

  • Doesn't seem to work with Catalina
