Standalone Mac OS X browser for Beats Music

BeotsMusic has been discontinued as Beats Music is now Apple Music.

What's BeotsMusic?

BeotsMusic is a Mac OS X application which brings Beats Music to the desktop without using a browser.

Why is that good?

• No more 'trying to find in which tab is Beats Music running'..
• Media keys support! (Yeah, those with ▶ ❚❚ on them.)
• Headphones remote (Apple Mikey) support!
• No Flash plugin required. Currently broken.
• AppleScript support.
• Stops on suspend.

BeotsMusic is a weird name. How to pronounce it?

I don't know, but you can get a clue from SoundCleod.

How to get it?

• Download the latest from here.
• Double click the file.
• Drag BeotsMusic into your Applications folder.
• Go to Applications, double click BeotsMusic.
• Optionally drag BeotsMusic from Applications into the Dock.

Important! Minimum required OSX version is 10.7 (Lion).

Screenshots? Yeah!

Alternatives

• Any modern web browser
• BeardedSpice (Mac)

Disclaimer

Beats Music the service itself doesn't support keyboard shortcuts unlike SoundCloud. That means, the method being used here is a bit more hackery than the predecessor, SoundCleod.

Use at your own higher risk. It might destroy the Earth. Or better don't use it.
