Breakaway für Mac

Breakaway is your essential sidekick for music control. Unplugging headphones automatically pauses your music, so you won't miss a beat to your favorite song, or accidentally blast your tunes in a quiet room (again). And reconnecting headphones conveniently resumes your music automatically, smoothly and seamlessly picking up right where you left off. Breakaway also works when you mute and unmute the system audio, giving you another powerful handle to control your music.
