HENDO  *sighs* I guess you guys just don't get it. Why is a developer who puts in hours of work coding thousands of lines of code drawing up beautiful graphics for custom controls designing a beautiful interface for a highly functional app obligated to just give it to you for free? Software design is a legitimate business, get over it. Sure some software developers will release awesome apps for free but DO NOT blame others for charging small amounts for their hard work. Maybe if this app was a broken featureless piece of crap you could complain but it is a well thought out and well designed functional app. Get over yourselves you penny pinching fools.  
(Version 1.2.6)

HENDO  It's nice that it's free but what does this have that the equally free Bowtie doesn't?  
(Version 0.2)

HENDO  It was free a few versions back :(

The price is ridiculous now. Considering many developers have created more useful frameworks for free (Sparkle, BWToolKit etc.)  
(Version 2.5.21.173)

HENDO  So why are you blaming him for creating a successful app? Are you saying you wouldn't take $20K because your product "isn't worth that much"

Obviously if he makes that much money he did something right.  
(Version 1.2.6)

HENDO  This isn't remotely close to VLC. This is a complete, and compact replacement for iTunes. The UI is fantastic, it's feature rich without being bloated and it works well. It's not like he's charging $50, it's 10 bucks. More than fair if you ask me.  
(Version 1.2.6)

HENDO  Yes of course, why would developers want to be paid for their hard work and hours of devoted time? The selfishness is horrendous!  
(Version 1.2.6)

HENDO  Hi, could you please recompile this framework with GarbageCollection turned on? I can't use GC in my application because this framework wasn't compiled with GC on. Thanks so much!  
(Version 1.0)

HENDO  Very useful!! I can think of some uses for this in the app I'm writing :)  
(Version 1.0)

HENDO  I agree, it's sad because people just keep requesting features upon features, heaping them up and bloating the application. I liked the idea of Ecoute when it first came out. It was a LIGHTWEIGHT alternative to iTunes. I think some of the features being added are not necessary at all, and the dev needs to sit down and think of what ESSENTIALS it needs to be a great alternative to iTunes without being a resource hog.  
(Version 1.2.2)

HENDO  Very handy! Thank you. Especially great when trying to use with Picturesque. The reflections would always seem too far away in Picturesque due to the shadows. This problem is solved now :)

Thanks a lot!  
(Version 1.0)

HENDO  My god, where did you dig that interface from? I would never ever use an application as hideous as this no matter how functional it is.  
(Version 2.0)

HENDO  Simplicity is beautiful and you guys nailed it. Well done!  
(Version 1.3)

HENDO  This just looks like DMGCanvas with a text tool...I'd stick with DMGCanvas as it's free  
(Version 2.1.1)

HENDO  Excellent little utility. Automator action is very handy. Great job!  
(Version 1.1)

HENDO  Hm in the free version once an ad appeared I can no longer post a Tweet. Thats kind of disappointing. Needs Growl support as well.  
(Version 1.0)

HENDO  So far I am loving this application! Nice that it can handle all of my different accounts so well. It's clean with a fantastic interface. I never used a mail client before until I saw this. It's a must-have! 5 stars across the board:)  
(Version 1.0b11)

HENDO  DMG Canvas is the perfect application for DMG packaging. It's really easy to use, and at a great price (free)

It was a very well thought out application and it has a beautiful interface. One suggestion I would make is to add guidelines and a snapping feature so it's easy to align icons instead of trying to eyeball it. other than that, this is one fine piece of software. 5 stars across the board.  
(Version 1.0.8)

HENDO  Wow, it's super expensive and doesn't even look like a native mac app (yes I know it's a java app)

There are much better alternatives out there.  
(Version 2.0.5)

HENDO  I love this application! Now with the built in themes downloader it makes it even easier! Theming is a quick and simple process. Thank you so much for this!  
(Version 2.0)

HENDO  There is a crucial bug where if you add an assignment from the toolbar it adds it to the top course. Not the selected course. Then if you try and change the course on the side it freezes schoolhouse. Hopefully this is s a quick fix!  
(Version 2.2)

HENDO  Wow this is awesome and free! Thank you!!  
(Version 1.0b2)

HENDO  It's very simple, and I personally wouldn't use it but it's really not that bad. It's really lightweight and clean. I don't know if you're a new programmer or not, but I guess that doesn't really matter.   
(Version 0.5)

HENDO  Does this work for the iPod Touch as well?  
(Version 1.0)

HENDO  I'd work in the GUI a little, just to make it slightly more eye pleasing although it's not too bad. And are you allowed to just use the official AppStore icon?  
(Version 1.02)

HENDO  Very clean and simple

Really nice, well done!  
(Version 3.0)

HENDO  4.0 is a huge improvement, I like how you can check your Halo 3 service record and pictures too!  
(Version 4.0)

HENDO  and you dont have to load the page first. through web browsers, you have to open the broswer, go and load the page then do the save as. Plus what if you want to just take a look at the code and not download it?  
(Version 1.0)

HENDO  Haha, really useless but mega cool!!  
(Version 1.0)

HENDO  a lot of iTunes controllers search functions got messed up when iTunes 7.7 was released, I'm guessing that's the issue  
(Version 3.5)

HENDO  whoa great idea :D

This will be really cool to use! Thanks for making it free :D  
(Version 1.1)

HENDO  By request I have successfully created an option to keep the window on top or not :)  
(Version 1.1)

HENDO  i will work on the hotkey thing

as for staying on top, as far as I know HUD style windows will always stay on top. I'm not sure if there is a work around for this but I will most definitely investigate it. Thank you for your comments!  
(Version 1.1)

HENDO  Hi, thanks for the review, were trying to keep this as minimal as possible, I am currently adding a preference window that allows you to choose what you want as the title bar, the title, artist, album or default (just the app name)

there is also an option to hide the dock icon, keep the window on top of all others

and quit iTunes when this program quits.

As far as the issue with iTunes quitting first, this has already been fixed and everything will work dandy in the next release.   
(Version 1.0)

HENDO  Nice app, but the interface really hurts it.  
(Version 1.5)

HENDO  Wow, awesome app, UI is lovely and the features are awesome. 5 stars across the board for this gem!  
(Version 3.1.1)

HENDO  wait can't you do this in any text editor and save as html?  
(Version 1.0)

HENDO  It fails to mount. Just says unknown error occured. Running 10.5.2  
(Version 1.1.4)

HENDO  Looks like an awesome program! :)  
(Version 2.0)

HENDO  Best weather app around

love the convenience of the menubar

5 stars across the board for me  
(Version 2.4.7)

HENDO  hmm, doesn't even support 30gb iPod videos, thats so lame  
(Version 0.2)

HENDO  cool, gunna try this out :)  
(Version 0.2)

HENDO  Wow, great app! And free, thank you very much :D  
(Version 1.5.3)

HENDO  looks cool!

nice GUI  
(Version 1.1)

HENDO  Too bad it's so expensive, it is a nice addition to REALBasic  
(Version 1.0.1)

HENDO  I can write an applescript that spits out random numbers and give it to you guys for free  
(Version 6.12)

HENDO  lol, this was made with TNT Basic, so I think it's really awesome work :D  
(Version 0.9)

HENDO  Awesome app, worked like a charm  
(Version 1.1)

HENDO  Amazing app, I love it so much, thank you!  
(Version 2.4.6)

HENDO  Wow Dev, you were very responsive, thank you! :D

Great set of folders :D  
(Version 1.1)

HENDO  Please in the next version include the following:

developer folder, group folder, sites folder, generic folder (the generic and open folder shud be different), and smart folder

Thanks :D  
(Version 1.0)

HENDO  No Canada support...boo  
(Version 1.7)

HENDO  please make one for firefox!!! :D  
(Version 3.0v52)

HENDO  Even though I use Play MiTunes (duh I made it :P ) this has got to be one of the most beautiful pieces of software around. Fantastic job sophie  
(Version 2.0)

HENDO  I wish it was free:(

Oh well, maybe I'll buy in the near future.  
(Version 0.9.2)

HENDO  This is an amazing screen saver, but I wish it didn't jump around quite as often, there is not enough time to see each new cool visual  
(Version 0.2b)

HENDO  MacLamps allows lights to go around the whole screen.  
(Version 1.5.7)

HENDO  Does everything I need it to, thanks :D  
(Version 1.1)

HENDO  Doesn't work in iTunes 7.5

Bummer  
(Version 1.0.3)

HENDO  Gotta rate it too :)  
(Version 1.1)

HENDO  Nice! I can't believe it's free :D

Thanks!!  
(Version 1.1)

HENDO  I tried changing the generic folder icon, and it didn't change...disappointing   
(Version 1.3b2)

HENDO  If you added the abiloty to export as System7 sound file you would be god.  
(Version 0.2a)

HENDO  This is nice, but I still prefer Jing

http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/25619/jing  
(Version 1.53)

HENDO  Nice, it has everything I would want. thanks  
(Version 1.1)

HENDO  The best and simplest way to generate custom keys. With new update coming multiple keys are allowed, would be nice if you could save them to a text file, and copy to clipboard.  
(Version 1.0)

HENDO  Wow...$50...this app was really awesome when it was free...not using this anymore  
(Version 2.0)

HENDO  Before I knew this existed I was going to make a program like this: You set 3 pictures for 3 different times a day...then I found this...and immediately seized development...this is everything i wanted it to be and more!  
(Version 1.0)

HENDO  Umm...Schoolhouse is free and wayyyy better.

http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/21783/schoolhouse  
(Version 3.2.1)

HENDO  lol...all i can say is...."at least it's free"  
(Version 1.0)

HENDO  Ok, this is so ugly...why make something so horrificly un-mac-like? Stick to Wyndoze programming if your going to make things like this  
(Version 1.10d.288)

HENDO  Wow! Great app! I love it, the interface is beautiful and it works well! Thanks!  
(Version 1.0.2)

HENDO  I made a desktop app tat does this as well :D  
(Version 1.2)

HENDO  ah, ok well I think I figured out how to do it anyway. Just took a while ;)

Thanks anyway!  
(Version 1.1.7b)

HENDO  To the Developer: I was just wondering if you could show me how to subclass NSLevelIndicator Rating style to customize the rating system the interface builder provides (because it really sucks)  
(Version 1.1.7b)

HENDO  I prefer Jing. It's free  
(Version 1.0b6)

HENDO  The program itself works like a charm but the design needs a bit of an update to make it look more os x like. The icons are pretty old looking and the tab view looks like from the first os x. Other than that a fantastic program!  
(Version 6.4.7)

HENDO  ow my eyes...what is with the ugly colours??...the GUI is just not one bit good looking  
(Version 1.0)

HENDO  omg, amazing.

Thank you so much. I actually like them as swf files, as it makes it nice for uploading to your website.  
(Version 1.2.5)

HENDO  Nice looking, quick, easy to use and free. Thanks!  
(Version 1.1.7)

HENDO  okee thanks! =^D  
(Version 0.5)

HENDO  nothing against this, but is it just a window with a web view thrown in it?  
(Version 0.5)

HENDO  Nice app, hopefully support for application icons will come soon.

Btw your icon on this page doesn't match the actual programs icon...i like the 1 one this page better if you were wondering:P  
(Version 1.2.2)

HENDO  I think this is a great game! I'm thouroughly impressed as it was written in TNT Basic, not overly complicated but still lots of fun!  
(Version 1.0.2)

HENDO  The features are nice but the UI for the controller is ugly. Work on building attractive interfaces and the rest will come.  
(Version 2.4)

HENDO  nice TNT Basic game - fun stuff!  
(Version 0.7.4)

HENDO  This would be cool if you could convert sounds to system7 format - maybe for next version?  
(Version 1.12)

HENDO  Yup, its pretty useless, but I actually like the effect...these are the kind of programs that should be open source...its cool that the app doesnt show in the dock and theres no menu bar...i would love to see the source code for this.  
(Version 1.0)

HENDO  This piece of software just keeps getting better. Great job developer, it has everything I need!!  
(Version 2.1)

HENDO  A very well organized and easy to use D&D manager. Good job developer  
(Version 1.3.4)

HENDO  HOW IN HELL DID YOU WRITE THIS IN APPLESCRIPT???? I didn't think that was possible...  
(Version 1.3)

HENDO  yuck, graphics are cold and not well polished  
(Version 1.0)

HENDO  Wow, this game is addictive. I really am not a huge fan of puzzle games but this is really fun. The idea is so original and the graphics are great! Thanks for this freeware developer!  
(Version 1.1)

HENDO  The thing is (no offense developer) this app was probably written in Applescript and I have made a lyrics program (that won't fetch lyrics anymore because the stupid website started blocking it) but honestly it is only a few lines of code to get already obtained lyrics in a window. The point is applescript is easy, iTunes visualizations are not  
(Version 1.1)

HENDO  This is really cool. A nice alternative to the shareware program EasyBeat. Thanks for making this free developer! Great job!  
(Version 1.0b8)

HENDO  sorry to anyone who tried to odwnload 1.2.1, i put in the wrong URL for a download link. *Fixed now*  
(Version 1.2.1)

HENDO  otherwise its a pretty nice controller though!  
(Version 1.0rc2)

HENDO  "Find any song in your library with the “Find Song” feature. This state of the art technology allows you to search your library for that one track by The Who and play it, all without going to iTunes."

that isn't state of the art technology...I came up with that for Play MiniTunes/Play LiteTunes except mine works a little more efficiently...don't steal ideas and credit them as your "state of the art" stuff.  
(Version 1.0rc2)

HENDO  $300...wow...  
(Version 1.1.1)

HENDO  It seems that LyricsDir (the website I use to obtain lyrics) has inserted a small javascript in to their pages to block out any -curl commands. Basically this means it won't allow Serenade access to it's lyrics. So right now only lyrics that you already have stored in iTunes will work. I reccomend you do not download this until i find i new website and rework some of the coding to accomodate for that website. Sorry for any inconvieniences.

- Collin  
(Version 1.0.2)

HENDO  oh wait, i think it means rock on.  
(Version 1.2)

HENDO  duh, im a 16 year old software developer. of course I'm nerdy...really athletic...but nerdy =^)  
(Version 1.1)

HENDO  I absolutely love this little app. The only thing that would make it better is to make it a pref pane so it doesnt take up space no the dock. but other than that it is awesome.  
(Version 1.2)

HENDO  works like a charm...just what I have been looking for. Fast, easy to use and stable...plus it's free, superb job Developer, kudos to ya!  
(Version 1.3.2)

HENDO  you could defineately have pulled this app off in Applescript Studio with like 20 lines of code.  
(Version 1.2)

HENDO  Freakin' amazing. Funnest screen saver ever.

I just love sitting here watching the dog fights.

I had fun setting it to as many ships as possible.

Excellent work!  
(Version 0.7.5b1)

HENDO  File is wayy to big for what it does...better apps that do the same thing but are like 50 kb in size  
(Version 1.1)

HENDO  [sarcasm]what an original name[/sarcasm]   
(Version 1.1)

HENDO  does this run .exe's?  
(Version 0.3.2)

HENDO  I love it. Only thing that could be fixed that hasn't been mentioned is when your typing something (like say in a comments box) if oyu hit enter it won't skip a line but insetad enter your text.  
(Version 1.1)

HENDO  Kinda pointless really...like it shows album artwork but people only want to stare at it for so long. There are far better controllers out there. (Including my own)  
(Version 6.0)

HENDO  Very cool. Useful, easy to use and customizable. Best of all it's free! Great job developer!  
(Version 2.3.5)

HENDO  Awesome widget! Really useful! I was always too lazy to add artwork before but now this makes it so much easier! I like the options and it runs nice and fast. Good looking interface! Great job Dev!  
(Version 2.7)

HENDO  amazing! i love it! fast, easy to use and free? What else more could anyone want?  
(Version 1.7)

HENDO  If you can't download it for whatever reason, email me at spikeit_13@hotmail.com and I will send you a copy ASAP  
(Version 0.9)

HENDO  I like this, quick clean and easy

http://bigpixel.macintoshdevelopers.net/software/info/ipd.html  
(Version 1.4.2)

HENDO  How come it only comes with graphics...when i unzip and open the folder only readmes and psd's are there...whats up?  
(Version 1.0)

HENDO  I have a free Dashboard Widget that does this...  
(Version 1.0)

HENDO  *sigh* if only it wasn't such a big download...I have dial up and its not worth the time downloading this..I mean I want it...but it's too big  
(Version 2.5)

HENDO  what he said...lets face it SMS 3.3 is just as good if not better and it's FREE!  
(Version 1.7)

HENDO  SMS 3.3 is much, better and free.  
(Version 2.1)

HENDO  One of my all time favourite and most used widgets. Love how it works with adress book, simple fastand clean! What more could you want?  
(Version 3.3)

HENDO  Some people are having trouble downloading the file. If you are then email me at spikeit_13@hotmail.com and I will send you a copy.  
(Version 1.0)

HENDO  Look pretty cool! I don't know if I really need this because I have warcraft 3 map edit, but this looks like (when its finished anyway) that it will probably be more flexible. What I still want to see is a program similar to RPG Maker XP...for mac...or just RPG Maker XP rewritten for the mac....I'll prolly have an intel mac before that ever comes out and then i'll use bootcamp! ok...i'm way off topic:P anywayz great job!  
(Version 0.2.5)

HENDO  I uploaded the zip file again, because the original, the program had an error that i forgot to fix (the open iTunes preferences) menu item was greyed out. Problem fixed now though:), so I recommend that if you already downloaded it download it gaain and make sure the open itunes pref works. Thanks!  
(Version 1.0)

HENDO  If you to the SilverCreator forums, you can download a beta version of SilverCreator 1.6. It's a lot nicer looking than 1.5  
(Version 1.5)

HENDO  Somehow an incomplete file was uploaded. I have uloaded it again and it seems to be fixed. Plus the file size is a lot smaller now! Sorry to anyone (and everyone) who downloaded the incomplete version!  
(Version 1.0)

HENDO  It's too big. The graphics are nice, there is a lot of useless space. If you take a look at mine (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/22076), you'll that it has more feautres, and is much, much smaller. Things like having seperate buttons for playing and pausing songs is what wastes space in this program. Still, all the functions that are there, work fine, and it's free, so there is some good points.  
(Version 2.0.1)

HENDO  Nice, easy to use and free! Can't ask for much more! It is exactly what I need and use it all the time with my apps:) Thanks developer!  
(Version 0.3)

HENDO  Contrary to what most of you think I think Dreamweaver 8.0.2 is still a fantastic program. I built my current website with it extremely fast. I really don't care about the minor bugs cuz they are not ones that affect my web design.   
(Version 8.0.2)

HENDO  there have been a few people that the download link won't work for them, so this is for anyone who has the same problem. If you want a copy email me at spikeit_13@hotmail.com and I will send u a copy.  
(Version 1.1.3)

HENDO  I used the demo (of an older version) of this program and it was fantastic. I made tonnes of widgets with relative ease. It is all you really need to make good quality dashboard widgets.  
(Version 1.1b5)

HENDO  gahh, too expensive...cool program though  
(Version 3.0)

HENDO  I have seen a lot of widgets/programs that do this so it's nothing new but out of all of them i would say this one is the best and my personal favourite. Great job  
(Version 2.8)

HENDO  comments anyone?  
(Version 1.0)

HENDO  Hey everyone, I have made a new iTunes controller called Play MiniTunes, its smaller, easier to use and better looking. Recommended over Play MiTunes.

Check it out at http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/22076  
(Version 1.4)

HENDO  Great program. Very impressed, keep up the good work!  
(Version 2.0.0.158)

HENDO  Thanks for the comment. Good news by the way! I am making a new program called Play MiniTunes. It is the exact same as this except way smaller and better looking! It will be out soon, just a few bugs to fix  
(Version 1.4)

HENDO  I am making an iTunes controller too...not a network one though...I'm not gonna lie...yours is way better than mine! anywayz you can take a look at mine if oyu want, just go here: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/21965

good job!  
(Version 1.0.3)

HENDO  ummm...this asks you where you want to save the file..just not as a prompt...its all part of the type- your- file- name- and- select- your- location-all-in-one-box.  
(Version 1.1)

HENDO  Ok, try again in a few hours, I uploaded the new file just now so give it some time and download again. Tell me if it will actually open now:P

Thanks for all your help guys!  
(Version 1.2)

HENDO  ok, thanks guys...i'm running 10.4.4 right now and it works...i don't know what to do for 10.4.6 I really should update my computer except I have dial-up and that would take a long time:( oh well thanks guys  
(Version 1.1)
