@sophia Is the new CoverSutra going to be a menu bar app only? Or is the beautiful cover widget from the old version coming back as well in the future?
Show threadsophiaOct 22, 2024
@adrianziobro Depends solely on customer feedback. I would love to and I know it’s been a fan favorite.

@sophia @adrianziobro +1 on the album jewel widget (especially since Apple now lets you add widgets to your desktop). For me it was what I loved about CoverSutra

@sophia it seems not to work for me. 😿

How do you want feedback ? Just here or by mail ?

@nicolasf media directly to [email protected]. I‘ll take a look right away.

@sophia just did that. 🙂

@sophia Blimey! Bit of a blast from the past. I recall covering this back in my MacFormat days.

@sophia yessssss!

@sophia Looking forward to this! Sadly doesn't populate for me (but i'm on the macOS beta so maybe that's why).

Couple of cheeky requests in case they're not on your list 😁

- Desktop cover art/controls would be :chefskiss:
- The option to add controls directly to the menubar (play/pause, next track for example so you can one click control those)
- Spotify support

Looking forward to seeing where this goes though - the nostalgia is strong with this one 🫶

@sophia what does it do? I’m too young to remember the original.
Show threadsophiaOct 22, 2024
@Strwpok It's a tiny music app with quick search and global keyboard controls that lives in your menu bar.

@sophia can’t seem to get it to work for me. Submitted feedback and screenshots via TestFlight!
Show threadsophiaOct 22, 2024
@markmalstrom Thanks for taking the time! So CoverSutra searches your local music library. Can you double check if the album or artist you are looking for is indeed in your library?
Show threadMark MalstromOct 22, 2024
@sophia oh interesting. Once I opened Music.app, it started working. Maybe Music hadn't loaded my library until I opened it?
Show threadMark MalstromOct 22, 2024
@sophia (side-note: this UI is so great 🤩 as is the app icon)

@markmalstrom Hat tip to @flarup. Very happy with his work.

I'm glad it works now!

Show threadxenonchromaticOct 24, 2024
@sophia oh shucks. Original Coversutra user here... was tremendously excited, and signed up for test flight but it needs "latest OS" and because of work I need to run a few major OS revisions behind :\

@sophia Woah cool! One thing (except for missing the cover screen): Unreleased tracks in albums are grayed to in Apple Music, but they aren’t grayed out in CoverSutra.
Show threadsophiaOct 24, 2024
@gernot I'll take a look. May you tell me what album that is?
Show threadGernotOct 24, 2024
@sophia This one, but I think it’ll be released tomorrow: https://music.apple.com/de/album/la-symphonie-des-%C3%A9clairs-le-dernier-des-voyages/1770020881

@sophia This is the first time I regret not using Apple’s music app anymore.
