TunesArt 4+

I've been using this for years. Absolutely love it. It's a must have, imo.

Recetly I've noticed it crashing between tracks. Not always, but randomly, it seems. I click to skip tracks at times and suddenly it's gone and I have to open it again. Then I also have to quit & re-open iTunes, so it can see iTunes.

I've been using TunesArt for several years now and it is still my favorite app for controlling iTunes. I have used many, many apps for this and TunesArt does the best of everything for me. I love being able to control music, volume, ratings, etc with shortcuts and I LOVE being able to pull up lyrics at anytime. Controls in the menubar are useful as well. The search feature is very slick.

Those complaining about the lyric fetching don't seem to understand that it wasn't legal or following Apple's guidelines. Would you rather have the app completely pulled and not available for sale, or have a compltely awesome app without that one nice feature? I'm happy that the developer is doing what he needs to so that he can continue this awesome app.

My only complaint is that updates take a little too long. Bug fixes are few and far between. With an app like this, updates are needed quickly when new versions of iTunes are released. I'm currently not able to get the previous and next track shortcuts to work.

I've maybe only ever written one other reveiw but this software is everything I was looking for and more. I simply wanted a way to program global shortcuts to control my iTunes. But I love the integrated search engine, the artwork and lyrics features and seamless integration. Nice work.
