Since updating to OS Monterey, I can no longer make the music window small.
I need to have a small window where I can see my playlist, but there's now a huge cover image that does not scroll. How to remove this so I can see the songs, without making the window bigger?
And why does the miniplayer also show the image instead of the playlist? I don't need to see the image, I need to see my songs!

Hello AstridJones21,
It seems like you're wanting to view just the playlist in the MiniPlayer, right? Take a look at this article for more information:
"MiniPlayer takes up very little space on your screen and still lets you adjust the volume, search for songs, choose which songs play next, and more.
MiniPlayer displays the album artwork for the song that’s playing. When you move the pointer over the artwork, controls appear.
You can also shrink the MiniPlayer window to an even smaller size.
Note: Not all features are available in the Apple Music Voice Plan. Apple Music, Apple Music Voice, lossless, and Dolby Atmos aren’t available in all countries or regions. See the Apple Support article Availability of Apple Media Services."
Regards.
Astrid,
Yes, it is a poor design and it generates lots of complaints. Here is one from earlier today:

But if you want to work with the playlist while you are on a Zoom call, have you considered a second monitor?
Thanks; what I actually want is the regular window with just the list of songs; I had it like this until I upgraded. I could make the window just a few lines high and still scroll and select songs easily.
Unfortunately in both the regular window and the MiniPlayer, there is no way to have a window just a few lines high *and* see my songs list.
I may have to just work with the MiniPlayer and deal with it covering up my zoom presentation while I pick music (I select music for the current vibe in the zoom room, which is why I need to be able to see my song list).
I do set up a second monitor for bigger events, but I’d rather not have it on my desk all the time.
There used to be other music players; I wonder if any are still around.
Thanks, that's perfect! Just what I wanted, with the added bonus of better incremental volume control, which has been another issue with the Music app. And I even already had it. ;)
You are welcome!
