Having said that, coverart still occasionally doesn't display properly.
Also, please, please, add a lyrics overlay/window (a v. minimal one that looks like the one found in the now sadly defunct Gimmesometune). Then lots of us wouldn't have to keep looking for new itunes controllers!

Pros:
Stable. (I am on v4.x)
Key combinations control iTunes & work everywhere.
Can rate songs on the fly *easily*
Nice looking HUD showing the currently song, album, artist/band, and rating. Shows album artwork too. All looks very smooth and mac-like.
Cons:
I just can't think of anything wrong.
Just FYI, it installs as a preference pane, not an app. (not really a con)
Summary:
Virtually perfect.
Useful, stable, and fun. Nice Mac level quality & polish.
Candidly, I think the developer could charge for the free version.
Today, I paid for a family Pro license, even though the free features were all I needed. I enjoy this software so much, I decided I had to support this developer.

This tool is simply awesome! I use it since many years now and love it. It works flawlessly in my workflow (Photoshop, Indesign etc.) and distinguishes between my PS functions (SPACE-ALT) and my playing preferences for iTunes (ALT-SPACE)!
I don't have to move my hand and controll everything perfectly. I love the configurable "jump X seconds" function. It is so handy when listening a lot to audio books while working. Sometimes the phone rings and ich just hit 2 buttons and get back to where I lost the storyline. PURR-FECT!
Embedding this as a prefs-pane is the best choice.
Author response is quick and friendly … what else is there to say?
One of my most favourite tools (together with Launchbar), couldn't miss it and loved to pay some bucks for the pro functions!

gotta stop and restart sk to get rid of the floater...
I did the iTunes upgrade to 6.0.3 on 2/17/2006 and now SizzlingKeys won't respond to the HotKeys and doesn't show album art.
When I press a hotkey, the Floater gets displayed, but nothing actually happens.
Please fix. I love this software. It will really mess me up if I don't have it. :)
Other than that, I love SizzlingKeys...Great addition to my Mac!
