@neuemodern: CoverSutra does support Growl. If you hold down the ALT key whilst viewing CoverSutra's menu, you'll see "Preferences..." change to "Advanced Preferences..."
If you go into the advanced preferences you can select to use Growl for song notifications.
why the heck does this not support Growl?
dunno why you wasted your time programming a custom notification system when that did the job already and was much more customisable
A couple of hours was all it took to be convinced this was a must-have app: I love the controls, the notification system, the search features, etc. I would love if PathFinder would keep the album art on my desktop, though.
Great application. Support is directly from the developer, and my question was answered within less than ten minutes.
Requires Leopard: Mac OS X 10.5.2 or higher, and iTunes 7.6.2 or higher.
Could this information be added to the description?
I really like this, despite it missing a few features I'd really like - a key to bring up the rating bezel without changing the rating, and an associated setting to specify the time any bezels stay on screen.
It also consumes a massive amount of memory - on my system as much as iTunes itself!
Yes I have to admit that 2.1 has far too many issues. However, I'm working on a bug-fix release which should solve them all and resolves CoverSutra's known quality.
2.1.2 is a major downgrade....growl integration has stopped working & search has stopped working (just spins and spins), in addition to the problems cayayofm mentions.....fortunately reverting to 2.0.1 restores the lost functionality (and doesn't lose anything, as far as I can see).
This latest version (2.1.x) doesn't seem to respond like previous versions. When changing songs, the song info doesn't change, it stays with the first played song, although I can control the song (next, pause, play, scroll) normally.
Besides this small bug, CoverSutra works great. Love this.
Don't worry, I'm working on making the album case resizable.
