What is Alfred Spotify Mini Player?
Alfred Spotify Mini Player is a free third-party application for Mac that integrates Spotify playback controls into the Alfred launcher and productivity tool. It provides easy access to your Spotify library and playback functions right from your desktop, enabling you to control music without switching context or leaving your current workspace.
Once installed, Alfred Spotify Mini Player sits quietly in your menu bar until summoned. When activated via the Alfred launcher (invoked with a keyboard shortcut), it brings up an elegant interface for browsing playlists, albums, and podcasts in Spotify.

Key features include:
- Play, pause, skip, reorder tracks, adjust volume, like songs
- Browse and search personal Spotify playlists and libraries
- View track metadata and album art in the Mini Player
