Enhance your iTunes experience with GimmeSomeTune

by Dave Caolo Mar 22nd 2006 at 7:00AM

I've been happily using Menuet and Growl together to make my interaction with iTunes that much more enjoyable: Menuet for the programmable hot keys, and Growl for the popup notifications. But, what if there was one utility that handled both functions, and what if it was free?

Check out GimmeSomeTune. There's a opaque popup window that displays information plus album art, and completely user-configurable hot keys let you control nearly all of iTunes' functions. Did I mention it's free?

GimmeSomeTune requires Mac OS 10.3 or later and is universal.

I'm a big fan of Synergy also. I don't think I would use anything else.

Here's another vote for Synergy by Wincent Software. Constantly updated, and lots of config options. Check it out at Wincent.com .

I just prefer the notification of Sizzling Keys to that of QS....more configurable and I place it in the bottom left corner of the screen.

Not trying to hijack this, but have any of you QS users tried Tunetag...

I, like many of you, use Quicksilver triggers to control my iTunes. When it comes to displaying the information, I use GrowlTunes, which is available through the Growl official site (as a free download).

SizzlingKeys is awesome - I've never quite got the hang of QuickSilver.

This works great combined with Griffin's PowerMate.

I had wanted to use my PowerMate to only control iTunes, no matter what application I was in (instead of having iTunes in front). This does the trick very nicely.

This application is great!!! Thank you!
And by the way, it is possible not to use any modifiers for the hotkeys... I'm loving this great little app!

Thank you
