MiniPlayer Widget App Reviews

There’s no Spotify integration. Otherwise I really like the notification center’s use of space — very minimalist.

Does exactly what it says: controls iTunes playback and shows album artwork, taking up less space than Apple’s own widget. I’m not sure why the other reviewer is even talking about Spotify control when the description makes no claims of this at all. Perhaps with subsequent releases, control of streaming music could be a good addition.

This is a nice alternative to the iTunes widget. As it says “on the box”, it uses much less space to display the controls than it’s offical counterpart, which is greatly appreciated on my 13” MacBook Pro. In that veign though, they could go a little further: when iTunes is not running, I’d suggest hiding the artwork and track name placeholders and collapsing the height as much as possible. Otherwise, it works swell. Thanks to the developers!
