Holding the Command key (aka the Apple key) and pressing Tab will cycle through your open applications. It's easier to Cmd-Tab if you are Copy (Cmd-C) and Pasting (Cmd-V) to and from various applications.

If it's been a while since you first mentioned it, how can it be new? ;-)

I like Synergy, myself. Hotkeys for everything, an optional menubar component, and a pop-up floating window with track changes and album art. Also has last.fm integration. AND it's cheaper. Like...$6 or something. http://wincent.com/

Only if its Last.fm integration including syncing played lists from iPods, it's the reason I'm still sticking with iScrobbler.

Bring back the Dixie Chicks! I mean, really, do we need more than one image to illustrate music related stories. I liked it in the good ol' days of TUAW when music story meant Dixie Chicks.

Synergy has pretty much everything Coversutra has in terms of active functionality (doing stuff vs. displaying stuff) for half the price. Plus Synergy has the ability to run an Applescript when the track changes which allows me to run auto rating scripts. I don't see myself switching soon.

Cole:
I'm a big fan of Synergy -- it's probably my favorite all-around iTunes add-on. But while it has more features than CoverSutra, CoverSutra betters it in a few areas. For example, CoverSutra's onscreen control window is similar to Synergy's informational display, but also includes playback controls, a progress slider, and a ratings interface. CoverSutra also adds improved Apple Remote support, as well as a command to temporarily disable all keyboard shortcuts, a unique feature that's useful if you're using another app that happens to use the same shortcuts you've set up in CoverSutra.
Having reviewed both add-ons, I still recommend Synergy as the most feature-rich utility in this category, but I like CoverSutra a lot, as well.

I saw on the site "do you really want to switch to a cinematic like application while having a short break on your sofa." You don't have to use FrontRow to control iTunes, it doesn't een have to be the front app.
