Elegant and Useful

This is the only Spotify controller I’ve been able to find that actually works like it’s supposed to. I can understand the $5 price tag turning off a few people, but IMO, this is worth it. It provides a menu bar controller for your music, but more importantly to me, it shows the currently playing song in the bar without you having to click on it. It’s so simple, but it’s executed well, and integrates nicely. The only big issue I’ve seen so far is that sometimes the album art inside the applet will be black, and when updating, the App Store’s “continue” button won’t close it; you have to go into the applet, click the gear, and choose to close Simplify. Other than that, it’s perfectly fine, so it’s defininitely worth the purchace if you’re a music lover like me!
