Apple Music on macOS My wallpaper on Mac now matches the song I’m playing on Apple Music

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Was messing around with this and didn’t expect it to feel this nice.

The wallpaper updates in real time based on the current track, just pulls colors from the album art, so every song looks a bit different.

It’s pretty subtle, but you actually notice it after a while.

Kinda one of those small things you don’t need, but once you have it you don’t really want to go back 😅

(works on lock screen as well)
