Description

Would it be possible to see if you already "thumbed up" a song by clicking on the menu bar button (to get to the menu, shown in the attached screenshot) via a check mark icon or a thumbs up icon next to the "Thumbs Up" option or via a separate entry within the menu (that would say, for example, "Thumbed Up")? This would be so much easier than having to open a new window by clicking on "Show" every time just to see if you liked a song or not, then to close the window.

Research direction
The issue requests a visual indicator for liked songs in the menu bar. The menu bar is likely defined in the main process (e.g., menu.js or similar). The thumbs up button in the player interface may already have a state; consider exposing that state in the menu. Look at how the current thumbs up action is handled in the renderer and main process. Modify the menu template to show a check or icon based on the like status. Ensure IPC is used to communicate state from renderer to main.
