SmartPause Alternatives

SmartPause is described as 'MacOS menu bar utility that fixes a small daily annoyance: pressing play/pause opens Apple Music instead of pausing the YouTube tab or Spotify that is actually making sound. macOS sends the media key to whatever it last remembers as "Now Playing";' and is an app. There are 2 alternatives to SmartPause for Mac and Homebrew. The best SmartPause alternative is noTunes, which is both free and Open Source.
