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 will have to repeat this simple process whenever you upgrade to a new version of the app, because the macOS Accessibility permissions are tied to a single instance of the app.

Demo

Enabling media keys support

Steps

  1. Quit Aural Player if it is running.
  2. Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy, and select Accessibility from the list of features.
  3. Click on the lock icon in the bottom left corner, if it is shown as locked. Enter your macOS password to authenticate.
  4. Click the + button and select Aural.app in the file browser that opens, to add Aural Player to the list of apps allowed to control your computer (See image above).
