Best plug-in ever...

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com. I've been using Jacket for a few years now, and in my mind, it's the best and most usable iTunes plug-in out there. Sure, it's not as fancy looking as JewelCase or even Front Row, but no other visualization plug-in let's you rate your songs in full screen mode. Jacket may be basic looking, but it gives you everything you need; the CD cover enlarged to fill the screen, and artist, album and song info displayed in any font size you like. In preferences I set "Expand [CD cover] to fit window size" and "Reverse Black/White to make the background black. Then I use the font Helvetica Neue Black Condensed at 72 pt aligned to the left. That makes the best full screen view I've found. The way I use Jacket, is using it in Full Screen mode on big screen TVs or monitors throughout my house. It's perfect to have the CD cover and song information displayed so large that you can easily see it across a big room. Then, by having a wireless bluetooth keyboard at hand, I can rate songs by pressing a number key while cooking or working out. Why no other plug-in can do this is a mystery... My only gripe is that the Full Screen mode doesn't work properly the last year or so. I have several Macs, and have tried to find a pattern, but to no avail. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Anyway, you can still use it, as the normal mode is maybe 90% of Full Screen. However, I would be very grateful if the programmer could fix this. Thanks for a great plug-in!

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com. This plugin is NOTHING compared to JewelCase. Go get that and then compare... although, it's kinda hard to even figure out where to start, since JewelCase is so much better. Now, how do I uninstall this?
Thanks a lot!

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com. So goodÃ¢?Â¦ that i could be even better! ;-) Can I even change please the font size (at least) of the lyrics? Un the infos of the song files we can not change it :-( and so.. you should solve what Apple (by ever in delay with the development of iTunes!!) will introduce I hope before my death! ;-)

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com. With my mac setup in my greatroom, this visualizer is great in full-screen mode. I can see iTunes artwork, including ablum title, song, stars, etc. It works great and has never caused a problem with iTunes. It completes iTunes! In the future, I'd love to be able to change the star rating from within the plugin...
Way cool!

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com. Been using this for a couple of daysp; just updated to the latest version today. It works as described, which is just as things should be! No performance problems (I'm on a G4 PowerBook) and it interacts with Amazon without a glitch. Very simple to use and nicely packaged options dialog. Love it! (And as with all useful applications, you always want even more features! But no doubt that it's great as-is and hopefully will continue to evolve with the same solidity.)
simple.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com. ...works just fine for me.It would be nice to be able to change the text color from any color besides black or white. I like this because you don't have to use image files from Amazon.com if you don't want to.
Full screen mode

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com. Awesome app when running in non-full-screen mode. If I turn full screen mode on the font looks very bad. (you can see the pixels)
Update coming?

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com. Great product, use it in the car to display cover art on factory navigation screen. Easy to see, fun for passengers. However if the rating of a track needs tweaking it requires leaving full-screen mode, finding the place to change rating, then selecting Visualizer again. Not a problem unless you are driving ;-) If the ability to "rate" songs with a click (w/o leaving full screen mode) were added it would become indispensable. Have a look at "TuneTracker" for an idea of a simple feature to add to Jacket.
