iTunes Volume: An iTunes Controller That’s Louder Than It Appears

zumuya » Software iTunes Volume Freeware iTunes ControllerOriginally downloaded 12/31/06. Like many other potential users, I admit that I was deceived by the name of this software into thinking it wouldn't be worth a download. Having just played with it for 5 minutes, however, I can assure it that it's worth a look if you're interested in seeing the latest ideas developers are coming up with for iTunes controllers. iTunes Volume has a myriad of cool visual and functional preferences for the volume slider, which also has a rating button, and for the separate iTunes art and info windows. A contextual menu also gives access to a sleep timer control, and you can set the software to speak song info when the song changes. On top of all this, it turns out that the controller art can be customized. iTunes Volume comes with 5 different "skins" for the slider, as well as sixth you can download that has instructions on building your own! I'm definitely going to play with this freeware for awhile to see if it becomes an irresistable item on my desktop.

Version as tested: 8.4.5.
