Prevents the player from popping up when playing a song
Get the appUnobtrusive Player stops the full-screen player from taking over the window every time a song starts, so you stay on the album or search results you were browsing.
If you queue music while browsing your library, this removes the single most annoying interruption in the interface.
What it does
- Playback starts without the player view expanding over your browsing
- Keeps your place in search results and album lists
- Player is still one click away when you want it
