The Music pane

The Music pane is your focus soundtrack without leaving the canvas: YouTube, curated Stations, your History, Spotify, and Apple Music, switched from the dropdown in the pane’s title bar. Open it with open music or Ctrl+Shift+M.

  • YouTube — paste a link into the link row; the video plays in the left area with title/waveform/controls on the right. Standard embeds, no tricks.
  • Stations — one-click curated streams for working.
  • History — everything you’ve played, replayable.
  • Spotify — connect your account for search, playlists and (on Premium) the native full-track player. Connect Spotify.
  • Apple Music — link-based playback.

Play/pause, seek, and volume live at the bottom of the pane; the waveform visualizer dances while audio actually plays. The pane keeps its place — loading a video never auto-moves the window.

  • open music by voice mid-task; route it around like any pane.
  • Music keeps playing while the pane is behind other windows. Minimizing pauses it — tuck the pane in a corner instead if you want it out of the way.
