GimmieSomeTune 3.6 available

Last year we pointed out GimmeSomeTune by Eternal Storms Software. It's an enhancement application for iTunes that lets you download lyrics and album cover art, displays track info in a floating window (much like Growl) and lyrics in a lyrics window. You can manage all of this (and more) with user-defined hotkeys or the built-in mini controller.

Today, Eternal Storms announces the availability of version 3.6. Changes include:
  • Save the album cover art in the song's ID3 tag or in the song's folder, saving disk space.
  • Lyrics-fetching is improved
  • Cover art retreival extended to all Amazon stores (com, co.uk, de, ca, fr, jp).
  • Various other bug fixes and improvements
GimmeSomeTune requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or higher, iTunes 6 or better and is Universal and free.

Enhance your iTunes experience with GimmeSomeTune

I've been happily using Menuet and Growl together to make my interaction with iTunes that much more enjoyable: Menuet for the programmable hot keys, and Growl for the popup notifications. But, what if there was one utility that handled both functions, and what if it was free?

Check out GimmeSomeTune. There's a opaque popup window that displays information plus album art, and completely user-configurable hot keys let you control nearly all of iTunes' functions. Did I mention it's free?

GimmeSomeTune requires Mac OS 10.3 or later and is universal.

Use Spotlight as a reference tool. Type any word in the Spotlight box and one of the top entries will be a definition. Click on it, and it will bring up the dictionary application to check the word in either the dictionary, thesaurus, Apple database, or Wikipedia.
