CoverSutra - a customizable iTunes controller with style
A 10-day demo of CoverSutra is available, and it sells for just under $13 USD (€9.95). While CoverSutra is a brand new 1.0 app, the developer is promising "plenty of new things in [the works] for you," and upgrades are free until version 2.0. If other controllers such as the über-everything Quicksilver don't quite float yer boat, CoverSutra looks like a great solution for controlling iTunes without interrupting your flow.

$13 just for free updates to version 2.0? For an app that lets you view your iTunes information? Sounds like a rip-off to me.

It's got some nice features like Apple Remote support and displaying the artwork on the desktop, but it's got a way to go to match Synergy.

I'm possibly being dumb (no change then), but; to use the shortcuts, you have to switch to the CoverSutra? i.e. changing to the next track etc.
Unlike something like SizzlingKeys: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/14164

@ Stuart : the shortcuts you define in the preference's "Shortcuts" tab are global.
You absolutly don't need to switch to CoverSutra to control iTunes ;-)

Thanks AveTenebrae. You're quite right and I was being dumb, or something like that. I'm not sure why (probably something else I've installed), but none of the default hotkeys seemed to work outside of CoverSutra, I changed them and it now works. Perfect
Although afterall that, I took a tip from the article and got around to using the QuickSilver iTunes hotkeys and added GrowlTunes notifiers. Now when I change track a million things tell me I have! Now, which to choose..
Ip Dip. : )
