I use Ear trumpet on windows and love it, was looking for the mac version. Down loaded background music, just like sound trumpet, been a great small app for sound control

Great quality, also helps play music at a higher volume than usual!

What is Background Music?

"Background Music can pause your music player app when other audio starts playing and unpause it afterwards. The idea is that when I'm listening to music and pause it to watch a video or something I always forget to unpause it afterwards. So this keeps me from wearing headphones for hours listening to nothing. So far iTunes, Spotify, VLC, VOX, Decibel and Hermes are supported."
