iTunesVolume

While iTunes Volume is simple, it also is very practical for me:

- It can play several songs from the iTunes Store in a row

- When I move the mouse over it, it shows me the CD cover and information about the song

- It has a "sleep" function

- etc. etc.


And, although it is free, I recommend sending the author an iTunes coupon if you like and use the software. I for one did so.

Just test it a while longer if you think it is "too simple", you might find that you like it.

And no, I'm not affiliated etc. etc., I'm just a happy user.

It's still most correctly used when you're trying to say that the simplicity is a negative thing.

Hmmm...since it's free, I thought I'd give it a try to see if there was any usefulness to this, though my initial reactiion was the same as all the previous comments here - what do you need this for.

I thought of one thing that might be nice...an iTunes volume slider up in the menu bar along with the system volume slider. That might have some usefulness if you have the menu bar real estate to spare.

So, I downloaded it and ran it. BAD BAD BAD. The application won't let me move the slider from out of the middle of my screen, and every time the mouse moves over it, a big white box telling you how to get extra options appears behind the slider.

I tried playing around with the preferences, and nothing got the slider to move from center screen, despite an option to be below the menu bar. Then I click another check box and now the stupid big white box covers up the slider, and there's no way to reopen the preferences to change it back! The application does not appear in the dock or the command-tab list of programs.

I finally ended up just killing the thing with terminal and deleting the download. Waste of time.

Nice that someone does any application for free, but did TUAW check this thing out before posting about it?

"Simplistic" is a negative term. It means "too simple". Is that what you really meant?

That makes zero sense. if you can't take two seconds to open iTunes running in the background to adjust the volume, you are really, really lazy. I don't get it.

I like Hear from Joe Soft. It's new I think. Just got it, but it controls all apps volume. I can have my EyeTV volume louder since it's usually too low. And keep my iTunes at a good volume and not worry about new mail dings blowing out my ears.

... or..... the remote....

Or use the volume controller on the keyboard..............

I use QuickSilver.

I have my shortcuts set so when I press the command key and arrow up, iTunes volume increases. Command key and arrow down, iTunes volume decreases.

Next Track is command and arrow right and previous track is the opposite.

Very Useful, and no need to run yet another program in the background taking away my precious RAM.

Ya, it makes no sense to me either.
