The Music App On Your Mac

1 When you’re using the Music app, the top bar gives you pull-down menus offering controls and options. It’s worthwhile familiarising yourself with them.

2 The Search field: Completion suggestions are offered as you type, and results can be limited to Apple Music, or your on-Mac library, as you wish. Results include artists, songs, albums and more.

3 When you’re playing music, this icon is replaced by the album art. Click on it to switch to the mini player, which shows the album art and controls only, and takes up much less room on the screen. Close the mini player to return to the full Music window.

4 The controls: These are, in turn, Previous track, Play/Pause, Next track. The line underneath lets you scrub through the track. As we’re not playing anything, the controls are currently greyed.

5 Click and drag the dot, and move it left
