Crystal & Frosted Glass for Apple Music

Your Deck. Your Music. Your Controls.

This is real liquid glass for Apple Music on your Stream Deck, made to look great while you listen: your album cover flows across the deck, and each new song fades in. But it's so much more: you choose how it looks, and you control your music without leaving what you're doing.

You get full Apple Music support on Mac and Windows, with one purchase for both.

On Windows, the keys also follow whatever is playing, so YouTube and other players get media controls, cover and progress too.

Make it your own:

2 live album looks: Album Art and Album Gradient stretch over your action keys and change with every song.

10 awesome backgrounds: Aurora, Night Sky, Chrome and many more.

Lots of ways to make it yours: pick from different glass styles, choose your colours, change the layout. It's your deck!

Your settings, kept: every background remembers what you chose.

Every control, one press away

At a glance: The Now Playing widget shows you what's playing right now, with liquid glass and a scrolling title.

Timing is everything: The big progress ring shows you how far along your song or (on Windows) your YouTube video is.

Out of the way: Play/Pause, Skip, Back, Volume and Mute. Everything you need is right there, even if Apple Music is in the background.

Let there be light: Shuffle, Repeat, Mute and Favourite keys light up when active.

Don't get distracted: Start your favourite playlists with one press.

Rest easy: With the simple sleep timer, you fall asleep at your own pace.

You're the explorer: On Mac, you can save a song to a playlist with one press on the deck.

Local control. No account. No telemetry.

How to use it

Open the Stream Deck app and find Crystal & Frosted Glass in the action list on the right.

Drag the keys you want onto your deck.

Click a key to open its settings below the deck.

Change the look: choose Background, Layout, Glass, Theme and Icon Colour. It applies to all the plugin's keys.

Playlist keys: type the playlist's name exactly as it appears in Apple Music. A key with no name shows a yellow warning when pressed.

Sleep Timer: choose the minutes in the key's settings. Press to start, press again to cancel.

Volume: press for one step, or hold to keep going.

Now Playing: press to play or pause. If Apple Music is closed and nothing is playing, the key shows Open and starts it.

Requirements

Stream Deck app 7.1 or newer

Apple Music app

Windows 10 or 11, or a Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or newer) on macOS 13 or newer

Intel Macs are not supported.

Keys only: dials and the Neo info bar have no function in this version.

Good to know

Mac: Add to Playlist works with songs in your library. Music may refuse streaming songs that aren't in it yet.

Mac: the keys control Music only. Following other players is a Windows-only feature.

Windows: if Apple Music and another player both play, the keys stay with Apple Music.

Windows: volume keys change Apple Music's level in the Volume Mixer, so Apple Music's own slider doesn't move. For other players, they change the system volume.

Windows: Favourite and the Repeat display need Apple Music set to English. Favourite remembers your presses for the current song, because Apple Music for Windows doesn't report favourites.

Windows: pressing Shuffle or Repeat can briefly show Apple Music, then your window returns.
