iMote is a simple, elegant and lightweight program for controlling iTunes from just about any application. Play/pause, change tracks, select playlists, adjust volume, rate tracks and more using fully customizable hot-keys or a universal menu bar item. iMote includes a beautiful iPod-esque floating window, indicating current track information, and Growl support if you want an even more stream-lined experience with your other Growl-enabled applications. Written using Cocoa, iMote is lean and mean, consuming minimal system memory and CPU time. iMote is also the original iTunes controller.
What's New
Version 2.3.2:
- Fixed a bug introduced in version 2.3 that caused the Floater to continually report "Quiet" when music was paused (as opposed to only when stopped)
- Fixed a minor bug allowing for horizontal scrolling in the Hot Keys preferences
- Added a Portuguese localization, thanks to Cassio Diego and Patricia Daibes
Requirements
PPC / Intel, Mac OS X 10.3 or later, iTunes.

A few requests:
- Keyboard shortcut for changing Albums!
- No more .sitx files for the program distributions ;)

The developer should consider moving away from .sitx. You only have to go to the stuffit page to see the problems many people have with stuffit.

Everything is easily customizable; hot keys, info floater, ( I prefer the app's built in floater to the optional Growl - easier to position and control). I use it all the time without having to think about it. What more could you ask?
The one time I had a question, the developer got back to me right away, even if there wasn't a ready answer.
There is a minor bug that I reported that apparently has appened to a few other people as well. If the menu extra is on I have to quit iMote before the computer will let me quit iTunes. No big disaster, and the developer said it will be addressed in the next version.

The Show Growl Notication action doesn't work when assigned to hotkey 9 for some reason. It would also be nice to be able to choose the hotkey activation sequence - some of my apps use Command-Option shortcuts extensively, and I'd like to be able to change it to Ctrl-Command. Even better would be setting it on a per-hotkey basis.
Would it be possible to have Rate Previous Track commands? If a track finished before I can rate it, I have to go to iTunes and rate it in there, which is a pain. Shouldn't be too hard to keep a note of what's just finished playing, hopefully :)

Would be really really cool if it could read album graphics from an external file though, like growltunes did (now scrapped from my computer, thank you very much! :) and possibly download it from amazon, like growltunes did. I know there are apps that loads the images into the mp3-files for you, but I have one of the 4Gb iPod minis and I'm really tight on space in it as it is.
I'm gonna have a look-see to see if I can whip up a cooler app icon as well, would be glad to contribute to this awesome software.
