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.

WHAT'S NEW
Version 3.5a7:
  • Work around missing cover art problem caused by iTunes 7.6.1 and 7.6.2 (fixes bug #668).
  • Speed up cover art retrieval.
  • Catch NSGenericExceptions thrown by Leopard Script Bridge (fixes bug #657).
  • Note: the crashes caused by NSAppleScript under Garbage Collection remain; Apple has confirmed that this is a Leopard bug and intends to fix it, although hasn't announced when the fix will be made available. If you are experiencing these crashes often with this alpha release you may consider switching to the stable 3.2 series instead, which can be downloaded from here.

KINGADROCK  Synergy used to be the best iTunes controller available. I'm a registered user and have used it for years. Synergy has really taken a turn for the worse. It's not launching properly, it crashes, and it's slow to respond. I got so frustrated that I switched to a competing product. I'll keep an eye on Synergy with hopes it returns to the quality app I once knew.  (Version 3.5a6)

KIDCLAM  I won't be using Synergy for now (I paid) since it opens up my iTunes way automatically.. faster than my external hard disc. It was a "!" on all my songs since it has lost connection the the library. Yeah I can still play the songs once my external is up, but when I have"shuffle" on my playlist, it doesn't play because it iTunes still thinks the songs are missing... I also use the new keyboard with the function keys for play/pause etc. and can function directly to iTunes on any software I am currently working on. So Synergy is basically not needed anymore. PLEASE FIX THIS OPEN ITUNES ON START UP... AND ALSO PREVIEW PICS OF MY ALBUMS ON THE FLOATER... NOT GOOD ENOUGH!  (Version 3.5a5)

KIDCLAM  I downloaded this latest installer and I am using Leopard. My album art is not showing up at all on the pop up preview window... Can anyone help? I have marked to see the preview from the preference pane.  (Version 3.5a5)

ALEXF  It doesn't start at login anymore, no matter how many times I click that option :(

Otherwise a great program...using a Mac without it feels unnatural. This was one of the first shareware programs I ever bought.  (Version 3.5a5)
