MiniPlayer Widget App Reviews
No Spotify?
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!
Miniplayer cannot install onto Notification
There is a problem of adding this miniplayer as a widget into the notification center. Please fix this issue. Other than that, It works great.
Doesn't work on MacOS Big Sur
Can't add the app to the notification center widgets on MacOS Big Sur. Will change review if developer updates
Doesn't work in Catalina?
I can't seem to find a way to install the widget following the instructions.
Can I get rid of explainer text?
Love the widget, also like the application itself. Would like to use the main application more, but that “how to install widget” text is always there?
Amazing!
A flawless miniplayer for iTunes. Recently switched to Spotify so can’t use it anymore, rip. Adding Spotify support would be nice. Also the anonymous usage stats option and installation is nice, but it would be cool if there were preferences to show that, so they don’t get in the way after setup. Wouldn’t dare to drop a star for it, but certainly would be nice updates. :)
Very useful widget
Clean and small. Using much less space in NC. Please add ability to love/dislike songs. Usually I’m listening for radio stations provided by Apple and this like functionality will be very useful.
Pretty Nice

A great replacement for Apple’s iTunes widget
