Description

You can control Aural Player's playback with the standard macOS media keys, allowing you to control playback even with Aural Player in the background. This requires a quick and easy one-time setup process.

NOTE

  • Media keys support is available from version 1.3.0 onwards.
  • You may have to repeat this simple process whenever you upgrade to a new version of the app, unless you replace the older version with the newer version in the same file system location.
