DESCRIPTION
You Control: Tunes is a free utility that gives you complete control over iTunes from the Mac OS X menu bar. You don't have to stop whatever it is you may be doing, switch to iTunes, take care of business and then go back to your original app. You can now simply pull down your very own custom menu that gives you access to the iTunes controls (Next, Previous, Volume, Play/Pause, Stop) as well as displaying the current track, artist and album. You can also navigate your entire iTunes music library from this menu as well so you never leave your current application.

LIAM_IMAC  Great bit of software, and its free.the only hassle is you have to sign up for a free reg key. i have used paid for apps to control iTunes [coversutra etc]and i find this free software beats all of them.

I highly recommend you try this

RORO01  The best iTunes controller

Many, many thanks to the developer for implementing the feature I mentioned below - now iTunes is being opened in "Hide" mode.

BRENTB  This software might work wonderfully, but I'm not going to use it. I'm disgusted that it's called "freeware" when it is NOT free. A better label might be "informationware." If I want to use it, it'll cost me my e-mail address and my MAC address. Why? And what about later on, once they have my e-mail address? Will it also cost me the time of deleting more ads and spam? Thanks but no thanks, frauds.

JOMAMA7366  This is a great program. Easy to use and configure. A great way to access your iTunes music from the menu bar without having to constantly switch to the program.

HIghly recommended.

BABYFETT  Love it. Use it every day and have never had a problem. If they started charging, I'd start paying.

TREVELYAN  Absolutly awesome. The only thing i would like to see is the ability for the song title to stay in MenuBar without the ticker. I bought Barquee a while ago [before i learned of this app]. It did this, but it's no longer supported under Intel Mac's or Leopard.

Thanks for this great and much needed application!

RORO01  A CRUCIAL ELEMENT IS MISSING

The developer should realize that the only purpose of installing an application like this one, is to use and control iTunes without seeing it's face i.e. it must open iTunes in "Hide" and have an additional menu item "Show iTunes" to enable the user to toggle. Otherwise we can simply launch iTunes from the dock and control it through itself! It is really a make or break situation.

SWO  Your point is valid, but until You Control: Tunes is able to do so, all you need to do is minimize iTunes to the Dock (which pretty much brings about the functionality that you're seeking).

UNDERTOW  Great software. It would be perfect if there was a volume slider in the menu bar, rather than volume up and volume down in the menu. I had no problems registering, it took all of 3 minutes. As for selling my soul because I gave a company my email address and IP, flippin big whoop.

CAL80  free?? dont you love freeware that gets you downloading then asks you to fill out forms and register? maybe i missed this new definition of free... well i wouldnt have bothered commenting except that the registration process took me to an "ERROR" page. i dont like my time being wasted. if these guys want to use a freebie to get people to give them their email addresses and visit their site (AKA consider their payware) then this is not the way to do it. we can go to MSN for that, or take a leap back to the nineties when that sort of thing was the norm. I HATE TIME WASTERS.

YOGI COACH  I understand that you're a bit frustrated by the process for downloading the website. Personally I don't think it's such a big deal, but you're certainly entitled to your opinion.

My question is what caused you to give the software only one star? It's not clear if you actually used this software. I, like many Mac users, rely to MacUpdate for choosing quality Mac software. This service only works if the reviews accurately reflect the quality of the software.

Thanks for reading.
