How else can I control my iTunes [Mac]?
Third party Mac applications called iTunes controllers can help you to easily play, pause,
play the next/previous track and rate songs.
Controllers are merely simple applications which show you the song that is playing by
announcing the song title and artist each time a new song starts to play. Most controllers
also allow you to rate your songs on the fly by invoking a hot-key which increases or
decreases the songʼs rating.
Besides that, some controllers will also display menu bar shortcuts which will help you to
quickly pause and resume iTunes.
*Just a quick note about menu bar shortcuts: it may not always appear because other
applications have slightly longer menu bar items, which could hide the iTunes controllerʼs
shortcuts.
The most popular, functional and free controllers are You Control: Tunes and
GimmeSomeTune. Of course, there are other options like Bowtie, uTunes and
SizzlingKeys.
Both You Control: Tunes and GimmeSomeTune provide menu bar shortcuts, alerts on
song changes, hot-keys to allow you to quickly rate your songs and a convenient info-
window that can be brought up to show you which song is currently being played.
GimmeSomeTune has a slight advantage because it can also fetch lyrics and artwork for
songs without any (see “Iʼve got my library in order, now what?”); and scrobble songs to
Last.fm.
