Packed with great features missing from iTunes.
markbult- Pros
- Adds a tiny dropdown icon and controller to the menubar at the top of OS X's screen that lets you: pause and play iTunes, skip back or forward, change volume level, access playlists from the dropdown, apply star-ratings, and buy the album from Amazon.com. <p> <p>You can do even more if you open the Preferences pane and poke around, like one-click access to album artwork from Amazon.com which you can then apply to your iTunes library (well, maybe it's two clicks). <p> <p>Overall, a very cool little app, well designed and discreetly small and unobtrusive.
- Cons
- I like that themes are available, but I wish more than one theme came with the installer. <p> <p>I also really like that it retrieves album artwork, but there needs to be an option in the Prefs panel to make it automatically apply the artwork to iTunes' library. <p> <p>Another suggestion: The dropdown that shows the ratings doesn't actually show my current rating of the playing song. Just the ones that I can apply. <p> <p>The Volume Mute option needs an un-mute option, otherwise I have to switch back to iTunes to do it; and the Volume Up and Down options are kinda worthless without a slider. <p> <p>The Song Information option doesn't seem to do anything at all.
