DESCRIPTION
Synergy places three buttons to control iTunes in your menubar: previous track, next track, and play/pause; as well as providing you with visual feedback about the currently playing tune.

The Synergy controls, together with the ability to control iTunes via system-wide Hot Key combinations, mean that Synergy provides the fastest way of skipping between songs when using the keyboard or the mouse; all this without having to switch to iTunes or accessing its Dock menu.

SOLEFALD  Why is this thing CONSTANTLY trying to mount my TimeCapsule disk on start up?

I have been using Synergy for a long time and with every update it becomes buggier and more unusable....

LOUNGE DELUXE  I bought a license for Synergy back in 2005, but I have only used it for a short time as I found its purpose much too limited. I reckon for Synergy to survive (or maybe revive in my case) the dev ought to add the possibility to display in the menu bar info of the current song playing.

BUZZWORM  I used to recommend this software to my Mac clients, but found soon realized it wouldn't launch all the time. Spending time troubleshooting a $7 program wasn't worth it and no free updates has made me runaway. Why bother when you can get YouControl for free? http://bit.ly/1PERj0

TIMHERE  Have used this app for YEARS. But to have to pay for what is essentially a minor update - compatibility with Snow Leopard - seems incredibly tight. I'll go elsewhere.

JON555  This developer charges for what is essentially bug fixes. There have been no notable changes since 2005. The app itself isn't bad, but for a $7 menu bar with a few buttons, you'd expect more. At least update the UI/buttons to something more modern. Don't let the 4 and a half star rating fool you, as most of those high ratings are from 2005.

BRADY J. FREY  Just downloaded it on Snow Leopard - haven't had any issues in 6 hours of heavy usage, so I bought it right away. Exactly what I wanted, thank you!

MAX KAMIR  I agree with GuillaumeK. I just donloaded the app and regret that I didn't keep the old one. There is nothing new, the old version I had worked well.

You dbl click on the icon and it crashes the older version with no warning about licencing and you can't recover the old one...

Actually, I have it on Time Machine...
