PIXIAPPS  Unfortunately, I can't "fix" that.. Apple added this new annoying feature :(

Each time you hit the play/pause key, Snow Leopard automatically launches iTunes.

The only way to avoid this is to edit RCD.app (CoreServices) with an hexa-editor... That's not really user-friendly at all :p That's why I'm currently searching for another way to avoid opening iTunes... I thought about sending a lot of mails to Apple, and ask them to remove this "feature" which is really really annoying, and not only for Ecoute..

PIXIAPPS  I think it's possible only with "Hard-drive mode" on iPods.. but impossible with iPod Touch / iPhone.

PIXIAPPS  TotalTunes Control is still available for fix-upgrades. As soon as Snow Leopard will be released, a new version of TTC should appears too.

About latest version of iTunes that doesn't work with TTC, it works for me and I haven't received any bug reports about that. Maybe you can send me a crash log or something?

PIXIAPPS  The code that automatically delete a crack-patcher launched while Ecoute Helper is active, has been removed from Ecoute v1.1.8.

We have taken all responsability about that, and as some of you think : this is not really fairplay.

We really hope you'll forgive us for that and also understand why we did this before.

Thank you.

STILL_SPARKLING  It takes guts to publicly admit you made a mistake. You've made a wise decision.

I tried Ecoute a few days ago and really loved it; it was exactly what I was looking for and the $10.00 price was quite fair. The next day I went on Macupdate to check the reviews one last time before I bought it, but when I read about the nasty file deleting "helper" app, I stopped dead in my tracks. There is no way I will ever support a company that deletes files from their users computers without permission. This is a Cardinal Sin and there is no justification for such an act. Ever.

Since you have removed the file deleting script and admitted your mistake, I'm going to reconsider buying the app. I hope other potential customers will do the same.

PIXIAPPS  Sincerely, I think you should test it for about 2/3 (or 15-day trial :p ) .

Then, write a review on MacUpdate about Ecoute, even if you don't like this soft at the end of your test-period.

PIXIAPPS  If you're asking why would you pay for that, you should also ask why would you pay for others iTunes Controller or some other sharewares that got free alternatives.

Making a software like "Ecoute" is an hard work. Even if as iTunes, Ecoute does less, it does more more and more than iTunes concerning Music Player.

First of all, it's simple and easy (forgive me, but iTunes is not so simple at all). You can browse your music on Ecoute as you browse your music on the iPhone. The UI is very nice, it has keyboard shortcuts (more than iTunes), it can display lyrics just like the iPhone, search for missing artworks and apply them, and more and more.

There's some things that iTunes cannot do but Ecoute can.. as there's some things that Ecoute cannot do but iTunes can.

Ecoute can be a very good alternative as a music player for some users. I completly understand if you are not interested in this lightweight player, but try to imagine the work behind it anyway :)

PIXIAPPS  Ecoute Helper still runs even if you quit Ecoute because it automatically updates your tracks metadata (like play count, rating) in iTunes when you launch it. Really usefull for iPods synchronization and smart playlists.
