QuickTunes: Customize… Listen… Enjoy…
Originally downloaded 8/1/06. QuickTunes puts your current iTune in the Mac OS X menubar, with all the usual controls one needs for iTunes hiding therein. Recent versions have added a floating window with info about the playing tune, and options for an iTunes announcer a la RadioDays. Hope it doesn’t take up too much room in the menubar, but other than that, looks like some cool ideas here.
Update 12/4/06. QuickTunes has quite a lot to offer, but ultimately isn’t on a par with the best freeware in this “market.” For a full review of all current iTunes controllers, see my December 2006 article, “An Intimate Evening With Two Dozen iTunes Controllers“.
Version as tested: 2.0.
