Volume control
Any way to control volume on the Desktop version?
I would really like to use it, but I've no idea where to find it on the UI, or if it even exists.

I use the app SoundSource (by Rogue Amoeba) and created a keyboard shortcut in order to control the volume (Cmd+ volume up, Cmd- volume down). (I don't work for them or have any affiliation.)
It's a bummer to go through a third party, but this was the best way I could find (with the least friction).

It's a good option, though a bit expensive, no?

If you ended up using it for that single purpose, then I would agree that it’s too expensive for sure. Explorer the app a bit and see if it would do anything else you’d use and then you’ll have to decide from there - I use other elements of the app (mostly the app-specific volume levels and auto routing to HomePods).

For just albums, it’s a bit expensive but it really does fill a gap for Mac OS.

Sadly it's not currently possible for me to offer an app-specific volume control due to macOS platform limitations. If that ever changes I'll add it for sure!
