Spotify Volume Control While freelancing: The Faster Way

Fine-tune volume with the mouse wheel over the popup.

💡 Overview

Volume is the most-adjusted setting in any listening session. When a client message arrives, you want music out of the way fast.

Hover over the mini-player and scroll the mouse wheel to raise or lower the volume in small steps, or drag the slider for precision. A mute toggle remembers the previous level so you can silence a track and bring it back to where it was. The popup also supports the M key for mute.
