On other music players such as ncmpcpp+mpd, you can control the volume of the player separately from the main system volume. I don't see a way to control Byte's volume independently of using elementary's main sound menu, which isn't the greatest for playing songs quietly in the background while watching sports for example.

I just got "Music" from elementary devs opened, and notice that it also lacks application volume control. Is this an intentional choice?

A workaround to get control per application is to use PulseAudio Volume Control from the repositories or appcentre. From here you can set the volume of Byte to be 100% or Silence or any number you care to.

Thanks for the great music application! I'm really happy with it other than this request and maybe some stability issues, but it's great already and hopefully with some polish will get even better! Keep up the good work!

The elementary HIG states that having in app volume sliders makes things messy when you also have the obvious OS side volume control. You might want to try HotToe if you want more wingpanel audio settings, but I recommend just using the built in one since they all get controlled by the media keys that way.
