Tune•Instructor
Menu bar control for Apple Music
Tune•Instructor lives in the macOS menu bar and provides quick access to iTunes (Apple Music) controls without bringing the main window to the foreground. It displays current track information, lets users assign ratings, mark favorites, and launch a lyric window for the playing song, all from the menu bar. The app also offers a widget for the notification center and supports global shortcuts for common actions such as rating and playback control.
Beyond basic playback, Tune•Instructor adds a set of library‑management tools. Users can organize, sort, and clean up their iTunes collection, remove duplicate entries, and batch‑update metadata such as cover art and tags. The software integrates with external services, allowing Last.fm scrobbling and fetching Beats 1 radio track details directly within the interface.
The program is targeted at macOS users who want a lightweight, always‑available companion for managing their iTunes library and controlling playback. It combines information display, rating shortcuts, lyric viewing, and extensive media‑library utilities into a single menu‑bar utility.
