Describe the Bug

MacOS not prioritizing cider with music controls via keyboard or OS. This means, if I have another application running and playing content (eg Youtube on safari), all music controls will be focused on safari and not cider.

Eg skip button, pause button.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Play music on cider
2. Play something on YouTube on safari
3. spam the skip key on your keyboard until your fingers can't no more

Anything else?

No response

This is not really how it works. We cannot prioritise Cider over other applications, this would be down to how Apple has set up its media interface.
