Clutter

Version: 1.0b2 || Release Date: 2006-07-11 || License: Freeware

Clutter is a small Mac OS X application that lets you put music CDs on your desktop. You can drag them anywhere -- they're really windows. Line them up neatly or put them in piles, it's your choice. Each one looks like the real CD's cover, and double-clicking it tells iTunes -- or your SqueezeBox or SoundBridge -- to play that CD.

Think of Clutter as an alternate user interface to your music collection. When deciding what to play next, instead of searching through a huge alphabetical list, let your eye roam over the covers of your favorite CDs and those you've been listening to recently.

Dev's website (sprote.com) is broken; Does anyone have an alternative download link?

I hadn't used clutter in like a year, or whenever itunes with coverflow came out, then I saw it here and fired it up again. It's great - I'd forgotten how much I liked it. It'll be even better with the clean desktop of leopard.

It also inspired me to clear a lot of crap off my desktop, which is always a good thing.

A bit old, but fantastic. My PC friends are jealous. Small, fast, and extremely effective, and I get frequent use out of the album-artwork-on-desktop feature.

Yes, a bit old but works GREAT. And have you seen how nice it is with Exposé...? I use this in combination with Amnesty + the iTunes Atrwork widget and it is darling.

A bit buggy, and hasn't been updated in a long time, but still my favorite tool for importing album art into iTunes.

I don't use clutter as a UI, but just for grabbing artwork from amazon or the net for iTunes.
