AudioPaper 0.1.4: Spotify.

Update: if you have 0.1.3, choose Check for Updates… in AudioPaper's menu (or wait for the automatic check). Otherwise download AudioPaper-0.1.4.dmg, open it, and drag AudioPaper to Applications. Signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple. Needs macOS 26, and the Music app or Spotify.

What changed

  • Spotify works now, alongside Apple Music, and a free account is enough. AudioPaper follows whichever player changed most recently; either can be switched off in Settings → Sources.
  • Podcasts: Settings → General → During podcasts chooses My wallpaper (the default: your own wallpaper until music returns) or Podcast cover art (the episode's cover, from Spotify). Podcasts never get fan art, and the Mini Player and widgets show the episode's cover either way.
  • Spotify's ads are ignored. Spotify doesn't announce them, so the last song's art simply stays up until the next song.
  • The Mini Player and the menu show which app is playing, with its own icon, and a note or a microphone for music or a podcast.
  • Songs that neither Apple's catalog nor MusicBrainz knows can use Spotify's own cover.
  • The first time, macOS may ask to let AudioPaper control Spotify. That lets it read what's already playing at launch, and podcast covers. It never controls playback.

Privacy: one new host, Spotify's image server (i.scdn.co), used only to download a cover Spotify itself shows. Podcasts are never sent to any other service. Details in PRIVACY and NETWORK.
