App volume control shall also be possible when playback is paused or off

[porg]

Currently: The shortcut ⌘ + volume up/down has no effect if the playback in the targeted music app(s) is paused or off.

Proposal: Make the app volume change also possible if no audio is playing.

Use case: Setting the intended volume BEFORE starting playback, because you want to prevent the start of your playback being too loud (irritating/ear-damaging) or a too silent (may go unnoticed).

Thank you for the suggestion. I agree that it makes sense. If I remember it correctly, there is a point in the program that checks whether Apple Music is playing, and if so, then it changes the volume of Apple Music otherwise not. Your suggestion would be to remove this condition. However, I can imagine of other users who prefer to control the system's regular volume when Apple Music is not playing. Probably the best is to offer an option where the user can choose the behavior he/she prefers. The challenge is to find out a short description for the menu that makes this option intuitive to understand. Best regards Andrea
