Most of that was played while working from my Mac using the desktop version of the service.

Although listening to music on Spotify while working helps stimulate my mind and make the time pass a bit quicker, opening the Spotify window just to skip a track can really inhibit my momentum and derail my train of thought.

Luckily, there are a few alternatives to going into the main app for basic functions.

We previously showed you how to enable Spotify music control by way of either the menu bar or a floating playbar, but today Ill be showing you how to add a Notification Center widget to your Mac running Mac OS X Yosemite thatll provide you with quick music controls as well as album art.

Feel free to delete the other files you unzippedyou dont need them anymore.

Keep in mind that because this app is from an unrecognized developer, youll need to enable installation of third-party apps before it will let you open it.

After Spotify4Me opens, a small window will pop up notifying you that the widget is active and that you can close the window.

Once youre in editing mode, add the Spotify4Me widget and select Done.

I suggest adding the widget to the top of the Notification Center, and youll see why in a second.

Along with being able to pause, skip, and adjust volume, youll also be able to view album art.

With Spotify closed, the widget will disappear, making room for any other widgets you may have.

That means its only up front and center when youre actually using Spotify, and thats it.

Its a simple app, and youll now be able to change tracks without needing to open the Spotify window.

If for some reason you ever want to delete this application, just remove the widget from your Notification Center and trash the SpotifyMain app.

If it says its still running, youll have to kill it in Activity Monitor first (it wont be in the Force Quit menu since its not a normal app).

Let us know how much you like the widget, or if you run into any trouble, by commenting below.
