I've just read about Clutter on the newest Macworld magazine, on the very last page. So I download it and used it. Wow, I love this program! and best of all, it's free! Anyone else use this program as well? or know of anything else better?

Thanks,

Ming

A description of what it does, and maybe a versiontracker, or macupdate, or developer product link would be lovely.

Clutter is a small Mac OS X application that lets you put music CDs on your desktop. You can drag them anywhere -- they're really windows. Line them up neatly or put them in piles, it's your choice. Each one looks like the real CD's cover, and double-clicking it tells iTunes to play that CD.

Think of Clutter as an alternate user interface to your music collection. When deciding what to play next, instead of searching through a huge alphabetical list, let your eye roam over the covers of your favorite CDs and those you've been listening to recently.

There's a main window that shows the CD you're now playing -- the cover picture is looked up automatically from from Amazon.com or from iTunes 4, or you can paste in your own. (You can also export pictures to iTunes 4.) To keep a CD around for easy access, just drag the picture out of the window onto your desktop. Then double-click it whenever you want to play it.

Agreed. Clutter has an option to show the album art of the currently playing song in the Dock too. This looks great in the Application Swticher (command-tab).
