Forza Music Floating Player is a small Windows utility that shows which song is currently playing on YouTube Music or Spotify while you drive in Forza Horizon. A small overlay appears over the game window displaying the track name, and you can control playback without alt-tabbing or switching windows.

The app reads playback information directly from Windows media sessions, which means it works with whatever you already have signed in. You do not need to give the app any passwords or link accounts inside the tool. Just open YouTube Music or Spotify in your browser (or use the Spotify desktop app), play a song, and the overlay picks it up automatically.

Playback controls work through global keyboard shortcuts you can press at any time while gaming. You can play or pause with Ctrl+Alt+Space, skip tracks with Ctrl+Alt+Right or Left, and adjust volume with Ctrl+Alt+Up or Down. There are also gamepad shortcuts using the left bumper combined with face buttons, so you can skip or pause with your controller without touching the keyboard.

The floating player window can be dragged to any position on screen and the saved location persists between sessions. The overlay works best when Forza runs in Borderless Windowed mode. If Forza is running as administrator, you need to launch this app as administrator too so it can send input to the game process.

Installation for regular users is a simple unzip and double-click. The distributed executable bundles the Python runtime, so you do not need Python installed separately. Developers who want to modify or rebuild the project need Python 3.12 and can run the included batch files to install dependencies and repackage. The project is released under the MIT License.
