# Spotify fn - f8: spotify pause fn - f11: spotify vol down fn - f12: spotify vol up This will map your FN + Play/Pause, FN + Volume Up, and FN + Volume Down to Spotify specifically. Pressing any of those keys while Spotify is closed will automatically open it. Play/pause button on the mac keyboard: is there any way to make them work ONLY with spotify, and not e.g. When your active chrome tab is a youtube page? I want it to toggle play/pause on Spotify ONLY, no matter what my active window is. (I swear it used to be this way a few updates ago). On MacOs High Sierra the play button and next and prev (media buttons in the top of keyboard) are controlling what is in the main window and not my music from Spotify or iTunes. This removes the idea of the button as I now have to open iTunes and then pause the music. Before I could just press the button when in Safari to pause the music.
8. I'm getting 'Conversion Failed'. What should I do?
If you are running the program under macOS 10.12 or a previous operation system, please roll back Sidify to version 1.4.0 for a try.
If you are under macOS 10.13 or later, please try the suggestions below to check whether the issue can be fixed:
Ⅰ. Please confirm that the source files can be played normally in Spotify.
Please open Spotify and check whether the songs you’d like to convert can be played normally in Spotify.
Ⅱ. Should you encounter any of the situations as described below, please try the detailed steps to check whether the issue can be fixed:
[1]The songs play for about 20 seconds in Spotify and then skip to the next song for converting and end up with “conversion failure”.
Step 1. Please check whether the system is connected to any audio output device. If it is, please disconnect the external audio device (including the audio devices connected by Bluetooth, like speakers or headphones).
Step 2. Restart your computer and convert the songs again.
[2]Conversion progress for a single song performs normally, but fails when it is almost completed.
Solution: Reset Documents Permissions.
For macOS10.15 users, please check System Files-> Security & Privacy to see if Files and Folders has been granted access to the relevant Documents directory. If it’s not found here, please perform the reset operation.
Search “Terminal” in finder and open it up. In the Terminal application, execute the following command to reset the access permissions of Documents.tccutil reset SystemPolicyDocumentsFolder 'com.sidify.spotifyconverter'
There will be a pop-up window to request permissions when Sidify is launched next time.
[3]For other situations, please delete the driver file under '/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL/MJRecorderDevice.driver' (see this tutorial), then reboot your Mac and retry.
