I remember seeing a desktop shot a while back, that had the album cover of the song that was playing displayed. From what i remember, it was a seperate program to iTunes. It ran on the bottom right hand corner of the screen (in this case), and took up little desktop space. I found it to be kinda neat.

Anyone have an idea of what i am talking about? I tried searching to no avail.

you check the konfabulator widgets? might be onea those.

[maximusbibicus]

Well, I'd say go with Sofa 'cause

A) It's does a damn good job. (Grabs the correct artowork 90% of the time)
B) It's $25 cheaper than Konfabulator. (Meaning it's free)
C) It looks good, works smoothly, and is still being updated on a pretty much weekly basis, so you can toss out your ideas to the developer, and he's very responsive.

Sofa is one of the nicest apps I have got on my mac, and it's piss easy to skin Cedric is the most responsive developer I have ever worked with, you'll quite often find him awake at 4am making fixes and posting off emails.

You could also try Synergy. Darn cool app, and it's only $5!

My favorite is Clutter (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/18699) - you definitly have to try it! You will love it!!!

Some don't work any more. I was looking for one over the weekend only to find that Amazon's been cracking down on too many image downloads and not enough purchases.

Do any STILL work?

i like synergy. $5.

i like the was it gives hotkeys to itunes no matter what application is selected. and when a new track plays a mtv style track name appears with the cd cover.

That's the best least annoying one I've tried. Worth the $5 too.

[Holigen]

Ya, Synergy is probably the best. Too bad about the Amazon thing. I used Synergy back when all you had to do to register was check a box and you could use it. Since then the developer has gotten a bit smarter and implemented serial numbers but I thought it was sorta funny. Best 5 bucks Ive spent beside that cool Techniclick II pencil I have

[maximusbibicus]

Well, i tried Synergy, and its awesome. Thanks for the reccomendations. I might try Sofa when i get bored of this.

Thanks again!

'Jacket' is an iTunes plugin - that displays
artwork in an itunes window or full screen.

Not like synergy and sofa but still a
good plugin (from an excellent Japanese
- developer) to have around ;)

[starman]

I'm playing with Sofa now and I love it. So far, no problems.

EDIT: COOOOOOL! Sofa shows a slide show of embedded images in the MP3! That was unexpected.

Synergy for a non intrusive low CPU use solution.

First piece of shareware I Paid for...

Sofa is very cool too if you want an iTunes controller also.

Synergy does too. I just use Sofa for finding covers to embed in the songs.
