DESCRIPTION
UniPlayer is an object-like multimedia player with many ways to handle images, music and video. In addition, this compreensive application is internet enabled, as any other browser, a launcher and a notepad, so you can navigate on the web, open local files, write and store annotations.
The improved version 3 unveils common tasks like these:
- Music - UniPlayer opens Audio CDs, sound files supported by the operating system, and also can sync with Apple's iTunes application and their playlists, controll it with shortcuts, display and set the artwork.
- Images in Sequence - Slides can be presented in the little window or in the entire screen.
- Movies - Watching videos in full screen and back is quickly and synchronized.
- Internet - Navigate, search, check and send e-mail, perform downloads, all standard features of a web browser are available, also in full screen mode.
- Hard Disks - From UniPlayer we can launch applications, browse and open local files, pdf, html, disk images, compressed archives and others.
- Customization - A Settings window allows us to choose the Videos directory, Home Page and wallpaper.
- Shortcuts - A compact menu with all available commands can also be used instead of the correspondent shortcuts. For example, the views of 3 items - Slides, Movies and Web - are controlled with the same shortcut: (Cmd + X).
- Simultaneous tasks - Listen to music while browsing the web: there are keyboard shortcuts to control the volume, play, pause, jump to the next or previous song.
This version comes with two releases: for Leopard and Panther. They are 30-day trial.

ALVES The added web capabillity is very nice, turning the application more versatile yet. It also shows that it was made not to be a replacement to iTunes. I know that many people that prizes this application will never post comments here, while other "reviewers" like stormchilds and macmellows - whose only purpose is to depreciate not the work but who made it - take place, compelling us to a wrong judgement. Because of this I am giving five stars to turn back the rating average bar to the midle. People must have the opportunity to make their own opinion.

TIAGO Get real man/kid... All I did was comment (no stars involved) that you were the only one giving this app a 4-star rating. I had nothing to do with other users perception that this is a piece of crap. So, to "balance" things even you're now giving yourself a 5-star rating? This is sad, but also kinda fun. So thank you!

TIAGO Oops, my mistake. LOL... BTW, I'm the previously mentioned MacMelo. I haven't noticed that my nick was different now. When will MacUpdate allow us to edit our posts? Even a small window for corrections (like 10-15 minutes after posting) would be better than no chance at all...

DNELSON Very poor... While the controller looks pretty cool, it doesn't do much and it's functionality is very minimal. The only thing I would want it for, to control music, it doesn't do well and the only option under "Music" is to sort by song. There is no option to choose the playlist or anything like that. Also, while scrolling through my many songs the window disappeared and it opened it's own web browser window. Finally, the "clock" or whatever it is intended to be, is inaccurate and keeps changing the time every two seconds. And not to be to critical about something minor, but what's with the version numbering? It's very confusing and hard to keep track. In summary, it doesn't work well at all, it lacks features, however it looks pretty good.

ALVES This is a handy (and singular) application, althouth the difficulty of use on too fast processors. But, as explained in the Read Me file, we can also reset and select the menu items one by one with the TAB key. One thing is that with iTunes running and the ´Copy items to iTunes Folder´ preference checked, the application may take a lot of time to load movie files and the synchronization will not work.

TIAGO So, from what I see, the only 4-star review is from the developer himself! | |

STORMCHILD Although the idea of an iTunes controller that looks like a 5G iPod is kind of cute, it would be impractical at best -- if it worked properly. I tried this out briefly, and found it is nearly impossible to control it with circular motions around the clickwheel, and couldn't get it to actually do anything. Even if it actually worked, this is the sort of thing I would delete within a few minutes, upon realizing that iTunes' default mini player window is far more practical and convenient. This is pretty bad. Good luck charging people $10 for it. You couldn't pay me to use this.
