Have you ever wished you could control iTunes without leaving your current app? SizzlingKeys lets you do just that - and more - in an intuitive and unobtrusive way.
You can control iTunes, see what's playing, rate music... all from the keyboard using hot keys.
A great customizable floating window shows song info.

So glad I found this. It's perfect! Goodbye iMote!
I used this for a long time and liked it a lot, but now I've switched to ByteController because it's more responsive on my older machine. ByteController lacks the extra features of SizzlingKeys, but if all you want is play pause next last track, and Growl support, ByteController is the way to go.
Sorry, but I can do the exact same things with Quicksilver and without the annoyance of an additional Preference pane. Bleh. (Aside: apps that insist on a adding themselves to System Preferences tend to annoy me. Seems very self- important. Just use the regular preferences mechanism for crying out loud.)
Love it. Very fast and effective, with great functions.
And, after emailing the creator, we may have a "get album artwork" key soon :D
I love the global keys and global voting that I get with sizzling keys.
if you like this, try gimmesometune, it even has cover fetching implemented!
I know that I can get similar functionality with Quicksilver but I like the appearance of the floating window better for SizzlingKeys.
