by Sang Tang (Jan 22nd, 2010)

As we've previously pointed out, in many ways, Dashboard Widgets are the precursor to iPhone apps. Need to know when your latest packages will arrive? Yes, there's an app for that. But there's a widget too. Need to figure out how many pesos are in a dollar, or what a Quarter Pounder with Cheese ...

Remember when we said the four largest record companies were working together with Apple to add enhanced liner notes and extra media to full album purchases through the iTunes Store?

High quality album art (from Apple)

by Mat Lu (Sep 14th, 2007)

With Apple emphasizing Cover Flow more and more in the new iPods, etc., the need for good quality album art is ever increasing.

by David Chartier (Jul 18th, 2006)

Widget Watch: Album Art Widget

by Dave Caolo (May 15th, 2006)

When I first saw Liquidx's Album Art Widget, I thought, "I don't want to have to jump to the Dashboard just to view album art." However, this widget does much more than that. It does display the album art of the currently playing track, and will retrieve artwork for songs that don't have any (adding ...

Menuet, the menu bar add-on that lets you control iTunes, view album art and more, has been updated to version 1.0.1. The update includes several new "iPod" skins in six colors. I registered a copy soon after Scott found it at Macworld in January and now I use it every day. Other changes ...
