"I couldn't trash the TotalTunes Control project... that's why I've decided to make TotalTunes Control 3.0, and it will be a free update for old users!"

I can't wait. I've flipped back and forth between this and CoverSutra which is also very nice, but I just really like the execution of your version.
I was very sad to see the original announcement of it's death.

So, which shall it be... Bowtie (again), Cover Stream, or Ecoute?

"Warning! TotalTunes Control is no longer developed. Please think twice before buying it!"
Stay away. I know for a fact that the lyrics importing feature no longer works with iTunes 8.2.

A (very) little thing : it would be great to have a better lyrics search.

One small bug in v.2.0: I can't disable notifications. TT C rechecks the checkbox every time it starts up.

The only solution I've found for this, when it happens, is to either plug the monitor back in, which isn't always possible, or to close the program, delete it's preferences, and start it up again.

1. Not logging default positions (or at least making this an option that can be disabled).
2. Detecting display configurations and having a preference for each configuration.
3. Always having the controller appear on the main screen at a certain position.
At least that's how I'd do it. Then again I'm a Flash developer, not an app developer.

I fixed it again. Please pay attention to details to avoid causing problems for your users and us as well, please!

When I've updated to b20 which corrected the bug on Tiger, I didn't know that you already changed it to Leopard only.

1) The menu bar icon isn't clickable (since 2.0b15)
2) Clicking the "Favorites" preference pane crashes the program (since 2.0b13 or so)
3) The "Skins" preference pane is empty (since added)
4) The "Favorites" preference pane was empty (since added--now it crashes)
5) There may be more that I haven't discovered yet
I have Mac OS X 10.4.11

However, TotalTunes Control seems to have some problems on Tiger..

It should work fine now :)
And about the menubar, I can't reproduce the bug on my iBook running Tiger 10.4.9...

1. The icon is now in the dock, and cannot be removed, although the preferences make it seem that it could be.
2. It's menu bar is now visible. It's not quite so much a good iTunes controller that stays out of your way when you want it to. As I recall, it didn't previously paste its menu bar up there when you click on the window.
I liked it how it was in the background in previous versions. I love its extremely frequent updates (like 3 today), but this one seems different in a not-so-good way.
2.0b8 would be appreciated...

If you have Tiger, I'll try to correct the problem for Beta9 (coz beta8 is already out)
+83
Actually, version 2.0b8 fixed all of the problems. Thanks! I do have some things I'd like considered, though:
1. More "iTunes-like" stars
2. More "iTunes-like" playlist menu icons
3. A preferences option to make the total time tick down like it does in iTunes
4. An actual stop button aside from the play/pause
5. A little more "Mac-like" interface. At least try to copy Leopard's HUD mask window style a little better. No offense, but on Tiger it looks kind of funny.
+8
However, it is strange that the bug is fixed. Coz I have it on my iBook running Tiger.
I found how to correct the Dock icon bug on Tiger, it will be for beta9 ;-)
+83
Action: I changed the settings (removing dock icon and menu bar icon)
Effect: Works great!
Action: Quit program after I was done listening
Effect: Once again, works as wanted
Action: Tried to open the program to listen to more music
Effect: Didn't open. Finder didn't even do the animation that comes when you normally open a program.

- Once you close iTunes, TotalTunes Control goes out to its "iTunes idle window". I hit the "X", but I guess that didn't close the program. If you could include with 2.0b9 a "Quit" button in that window that quits the program, that will help people avoid failure.
+8
I can maybe display an alert panel that says "You are going to quit TotalTunes Control .. blablabla" for the first time the user close the window ?
+83
Though even with that option, people who use the settings that I did would not have a use for the "Close Window" because without the dock or menu bar they wouldn't be able to reopen it, thus they would think that they had CLOSED the program, and would wonder why it wouldn't open at a later time when they wanted to use it again.
+83
It opens as usual, but when you click "Open iTunes", the window disappears and I have to, in Activity Monitor, close the program and reopen it.
The stars aren't my favorite (I like the iTunes style), but that isn't enough of a problem to really worry about...
It seems slightly unstable on Tiger.

Right click on TotalTunes Control, choose "show package content" and navigate to "Content/MacOS/" and open the executable "TotalTunes Control"
Then, tell me what the terminal says.
However you can toggle show the window with a right click on the icon from the Dock or just click on the icon and go to the "controller" menu
