Clutter - Manage iTunes4 music while collecting album art
this app is great. The new version has a "copy album cover to iTunes" function in it. Its nice cause it copies it to every song in the album you are listening to. Very handy. BUT, and theres always a BUT, it doesn't have a key command!!!! Why they didn't add one i'll never know. So i just opened it up in interface builder and added one. This makes it much nicer to add album covers to your songs. Just select Clutter and hit command-s (or whatever you chose as a key command) and it copies.
Clutter - Manage iTunes4 music while collecting album art
Folks, played with Clutter but suggest all should look at Synergy whose pop-up now also displays covers from all tunes (incl. iTMS). Also has a useful menu bar.
Choices...
I tried Synergy, but for me it boiled down to (a) window size -- you can make the Clutter window quite small horizontally, which lets me keep it near the right edge of my screen and visible at all times, (b) the ability to drag images to the desktop to make virtual albums is quite cool ;-), and (c) cost -- $5.00 isn't much, but it's infinitely more expensive than free. Given that both of these more or less replace functionality that I can already get with iTunes itself, free seems like the way to go for me.
Choices...
well, this is not that innovative, since it is what mac os x uses for ejecting cds, manipulating volume and so on. and synergy is shareware. this is not bad, but i prefer the freeware pthitunesnotifier. lets you manage itunes via keystrokes, adds a menu extra to switch songs and can show a transparent window with information of the currently played (or switched to) song. perfectly. clutter i use for frequent access to albums on my desktop.
Choices...
True, $5 isn't much.
Interface Builder? What? Where?
What's this interface builder thing? I had a goosey for it at VersionTracker.com and came away empty handed. Also did a search on the computer in case it was a built-in mejobbin but no luck there either.
Interface Builder? What? Where?
Interface Builder is Apple's developer tool for creating Cocoa interface files which are used by Cocoa applications. These interface files end with the extension .nib. You can open these nib files and edit certain values for menus, window position, window brushed metal appearance, etc. |
