THE1ANDONLY  This is a really neat program. Although not as small as I would like, the GUI looks great and blends in really well with iTunes. All the buttons work properly,but the preferences window is a little lacking ;)

I love the type and play feature, it makes it so much easier to play songs that comes to my head. Thanks for this great iTunes controller :)

CASSIOTONES  I thought it was something like a QuickSilver for music, like pressing a hot key, typing a few letters and getting the song. Well, maybe I got it wrong, but for what I can see it is not much different then opening iTunes and clicking the green button to get its mini version. Of course there is the search option in MiTunes, but I also preffer maximizing iTunes and using its search since I dont need to specify "artist" or "title" there, I just type what comes to mind first and get what I want.

IANWEIR  If you want a quicksilver for itunes, you can use quicksilver.

Just set up a custom trigger to whatever key combo you want (I use option+space), and for the 'Item' select 'iTunes', hit /, and then select 'Music Library'.

For the 'Action' enter 'Search Contents'.

Then go to quicksilver preferences>actions>iTunes Music and make sure that whatever you want to do with the songs selected by this trigger is at the top.

Personally I have 'Play next in Party Shuffle' first.

Then you just hit your key combo, type a bit of the song title and hit enter.

(note that you cannot search artists/albums with this method, but you could swap out 'Music Library' for 'Browse Artists', 'Browse Albums', et cetera to get this behavior)

HENDO  Ok, well, thats all good, but I am questioning why you gave it's value 1 star...value means how good it is compared to how much it costs. Since it is free and a quality piece of software (whether you think so or not) be more mature about your ratings. You have it bad feature ratings because it wasn't what you wanted. It's not like they don't work. If you don't like it, don't use it.

CASSIOTONES  Oh, sorry, didnt mean to offend or anything. I wasnt going to give a score to value in the first place (its a free app), but the site does not allow me to do a half evaluation. So I gave 1 thinking that, if it wasnt a free app, I wouldnt get it, since I can have the same features for free on iTunes.

Sorry...

HENDO  usually the value is 5 if its free...but hey, im not too upset. I just hope your ratings won't reflect how my program performs.

CASSIOTONES  Sorry, I didnt know that. I tried to fix it but I guess there is no way to change it now. If you know how just let me know and I can change the valeu score.

HENDO  I believe if you just rate it again, and give everything but the value the same score it should work. Thanks :)

DOGTOWN08  Hey, this sounds like a really cool app, but it doesn't open on my computer (iMac G5, 10.4.6)

From the crash report, it looks like you have zeroLink turned on. That would prevent it from opening on other people's computers. If you are using Xcode, make sure you are either building with either a "release" or "deployment" build configuration.

Hope that helps.

ZOHAR.MA  I haven't dowloaded it yet, 'cause I'm running 10.4.6

But I was wandering if it could be integrated to Growl or Quicksilver. I think it would be nice as a bezel inteface.

Sound really cool, though.

ATTENTIONWANDERED  The application doesnt seem to even open

it would be nice if all ti was was like a small text box and it played stuff without having to call itunes to the front(which is the fault of every script ive seen)

i think the script would be much biggerhelp to me so i could program it to a hotkey or something.

free software is always appreciated though thanks.

HENDO  Yes I realize that it calls iTunes up but when you search for a song and hit play it minimizes the window right after you type the song. In later versions I will try and have it minimized all the time. I am a new programmer so I don't know how to assign hotkeys...sorry:( but I will try and learn so don't lose hope!

Thanks for the feedback!

TOM HANCOCKS  Did you code it in Xcode? If so did you set it from Debug configuration to Release configuration? a Debug build will work on your computer no matter what, but not everyone elses.

Go to the Project > Set Active Build Configuration > Release to make sure it is set for Release.
