Heard
heard is a native Mac application that sits in your menu bar and records what you listen to in iTunes.
It records when you start a song, how long the song is, the artist, et. cetera. It’s anti-social, has nothing to do with the cloud, and the use case is less precise than ‘social sharing and discovery’: the main end-product is the ability to export your songs to JSON.
Unity Music Media Keys
Control all your streaming radio and online music apps using the media keys at the top of your keyboard. Play, pause, skip and rewind songs just like iTunes, even when Chrome is in the background.
