News - Top 10 iTunes Add-Ons

Helpero


We selected a list of 10 of the best iTunes add-ons for Mac and PC that we found on the Internet.
Included in this list are great programs that shouldn't be missing from the computer of an iTunes user.


>>>For Mac users:

Synergy
Synergy is a tiny little app that puts basic iTunes controls in the menu bar, for playing, rewinding, fast-forwarding audio tracks and displays real-time track information in a small floating window. You also can assign system-wide hot keys for controlling iTunes without the mouse. You can find settings for configuring the spacing, visibility, and style of the control buttons, as well as for configuring what track information Synergy will display.

Fetch Art for iTunes
This small program works by grabbing the cover art from Amazon's music listings so you don't have to search for it manually. It allows you to preview the art that was found and add the art you want to iTunes.

iTunes Monitor
One of iTunes's greatest features is its ability to share music across a local-area network. iTunes doesn't provide much information about who is connected or what is being shared.
This utility monitors iTunes to provide a solution for this inconvenient.

iPodRip
iPodRip allows you to get the most out of your iPod. You can transfer music from your iPod back to your iTunes Library, listen to music directly on your iPod -saving valuable disk space, plus much more. iPodRip  gives you flexibility importing songs of any file type including MP3, AAC, Audible.com, and Protected AAC. It is available not only for MAC, so if you want you can download a PC version from here.

RadioLover
With RadioLover you can: record internet radio streams as individual MP3 songs, schedule recordings of your favourite daily or weekly shows, record multiple radio streams at the same time, split and organize recordings by song, time or size.


>>>For PC users:

Volume Logic
Volume Logic is a sound enhancer that improves the sound quality of your iTunes music playback. Volume Logic offers a range of presets for different types of music, as well as a bass boost adjustment.

EvilLyrics
EvilLyrics is a very useful application that will find lyrics to the currently played song and displays it in tiny window.

G-Force
“G-Force is the most dynamic and sophisticated, yet entirely artistic, music visualization available - and it keeps getting better.”
Some of the features include Advanced mathematical engine with millions of visual effects and and that you can add your own visuals.

EyeJamz
“EyeJamz for iTunes adds an exciting visual dimension that greatly enhances the enjoyment and the usefulness of your iPod and iTunes.”
You can easily download free Album cover art, load Album Cover Art to your iPod and  then display them while your iPod plays your favorite music.

FoxyTunes
This application simply places a small audio control panel at the bottom of your Firefox browser, letting you perform actions such as playing a song, rewinding, and adjusting the volume without accessing the iTunes.

The list is open and you can give us tips about other iTunes add-ons you consider that are  must have applications for an iTunes user.

Good article, but can i suggest iConcertCal? I think it's a spectacular idea with really solid execution

Terry says: 00:29 / 23 mar 2007
There is also a Mac version of Volume Logic.

decoy says: 00:58 / 23 mar 2007
What about ilike?

Chris Messina says: 01:14 / 23 mar 2007
Yeah, I'd second VolumeLogic on the Mac.I'd also add CoverSutra to your list for Mac users.

Desmond says: 03:22 / 23 mar 2007
Come on, what about The Filter (http://www.thefilter.com)

Tim says: 03:59 / 23 mar 2007
What about CoverSutra? (http://www.coversutra.com/) Tried it for 5 days and bought it!

Nick says: 04:54 / 23 mar 2007

Fazal says: 04:58 / 23 mar 2007
I would say that that Byte Controller (http://www.bytetastic.com/) is lighter and less obtrusive then Synergy for Mac.

minniemoo says: 05:38 / 23 mar 2007
The Filter www.thefilter.com is brilliant. A really impressive app.

Whatever says: 05:40 / 23 mar 2007
Audioscrobbler?

Benny_A says: 05:50 / 23 mar 2007
For those of us who have a Mac at home but use a PC at work (or vise versa), XPlay from MediaFour (http://www.mediafour.com/products/xplay/) is a must-have. Allows you to connect a Mac-formatted iPod to your PC and use it as if you were still on your Mac. Handles importing/exporting tunes with ease. Best $30 I ever spent =)

Derek says: 05:54 / 23 mar 2007
Josh is right on the money. IConcertCal is the greatest and most useful iTunes Add-On ever.

Themacthinker says: 07:37 / 23 mar 2007
Thanks for the list. It is definitely useful, specially the iTunes Monitor...---------http://www.mostofmymac.com

Jeff says: 08:09 / 23 mar 2007
Another suggestion that automatically finds art and lyrics for and puts them in your library or on your iPod is "iArt" by iPodsoft . . . good stuff

Travis Font says: 08:44 / 23 mar 2007
how about last.fm music?o_o

John Curtis says: 09:35 / 23 mar 2007
Don't forget about the iTunes doodad! It puts a feature-rich menu in the global menu bar. http://www.erdener.org/software/doodad/index.php

Samuel says: 09:36 / 23 mar 2007
You forgot to add "iTunify", the best add-on ever! http://www.satsumac.com/iTunify.php

anon says: 12:09 / 23 mar 2007
http://www.celebrityprankcalling.com relevant to your interests?

anon says: 18:04 / 23 mar 2007
Also consider iTunes BPM (mac) if you want an easy way to set the BPM tag for your music and sort by tempo. www.blacktree.com/apps/iTunes-BPM/

Macskeeball says: 11:57 / 24 mar 2007
Anon, Tangerine is a much more convenient way to populate the BPM fields. It's automatic, and well designed. It's biggest downside is that it can't auto-calculate songs purchased from the iiTunes Store, due to the DRM.

Macskeeball says: 11:59 / 24 mar 2007
Samuel, iTunify is pretty much worthless. Just use the freely available AppleScripts from www.dougscripts.com

armandg says: 16:46 / 24 mar 2007
dare I suggest the widget called iTunes Companion? http://widgets.yahoo.com/gallery/view.php?widget=33155

Mahe says: 06:06 / 26 apr 2007
Anybody knows "gimmesometune" for mac? It's the best for cover art and lyrics searching, you just have to set it up once and it does everything just by playing your music and I'm looking the same prog for windows, can't find it.

Thomas Markel says: 07:48 / 14 jun 2007
