Skip Tunes is a tool that auto-detects and plays Spotify and/or iTunes tracks right from the menu bar of your Mac. It lets you modify volume controls and displays notifications.

Features Offered

Skip Tunes does more than just letting you play your favorite tracks from your computer’s menu bar. It lets you rate iTunes tracks too, and set keyboard shortcuts. The custom keyboard shortcuts can be used to play, skip, or pause tracks. Optimized for Macs with Retina displays, the menu bar controls can be hidden, and you may also detach the window from the menu bar. Not to mention, the tool has been featured in several online tech publications where it has been heavily lauded for its ease of use and overall functionality.

Custom Keyboard Shortcuts

The custom keyboard shortcuts ensure you do not head back to iTunes every time to play or change a song, which makes interacting with and using the tool extremely convenient. To make your own keyboard shortcuts, hit the Skip Tunes symbol at the top, hit the gear sign at the Skip Tunes window’s bottom-right, and choose ‘preferences’. Hit the shortcuts tab at the preferences window’s top and make your own shortcuts from there. The shortcuts would invariably employ your Mac’s command and arrow keys.
