This is very slick app but not enough yet for me to switch from Synergy. Hopefully I will see some very cool new features plus cool feature already in synergy added to Coversutra. Even though Syergy has some more features I will this to Coversutra: It's icons and preference menu is beautiful compared to Synergy.
By far my second favorite itunes controller.

I switched from synergy. I like both but CoverSutra launches much more quickly on my MacBook. Excellent app.

Not nearly enough features. Basically it's a near $30 CND (and this is just an introductory price with free updates only until v2) for a program that allows you to move back and forth one given playlist. While I don't like to compare apples and oranges, I am reminded on a Santa Claus sack of programs that do an uncountable amount of tasks, which are priced under Coversutra.

I admire the meticulously crafted design and delivery, but the greed of the developer is jaw dropping. Based only on sheer functionality, I can't rationalize such a steep price.

Amen, lokheed.

Needs more features. Eye-candy is superb. Contemplating my purchase.

For those complaining about the price of CoverSutra...
You have a very simple solution: don't buy and use one of the many free alternatives.
I have chosen You Control Tunes, but there are lots more: iMote, iController, SizzlingKeys, GimmeSomeTune, ByteController, Ivy, iTunesK1, iTunes Menu,, kTunes, etc., etc., etc.
Do they have the same shiny interface of CoveSutra? I'm afraid not. But for that, I think you'll have to pay.
I've chosen not to pay. Now the choice is yours.
(And don't forget a few Dashboard widgets that perform this same function.)

Quicksilver. A good, free, non-bloated, shiny looking alternative for many of the features in CoverSutra.

$12(US) isn't all that bad for a utility like this. I'm not going to buy it because I don't need/want anything like this but for someone that does, it's a decent price.

I'm still wondering how Lokheed concluded that the price of CoverSutra is 30 Canadian dollars...
1 euro is worth around 1.50 Canadian dollars. So, 10 euros is something like 15 (fifteen) Canadian dollars. Not 30 (thirty).
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I still like Menuet best.

With the new version supporting Growl this is one of the coolest iTunes controller programs I have ever used. It was well worth the money. In the past I have used Synergy, but this app is so simple and perfect.

surely there's many free replacements, but none of those has a comfortable HUD window which is much easier than a bunch of hotkeys.

also it's lightning fast, and looks exactly like a missing component of itunes or osx.

so consider a easy eyecandy or a free compromise.

I was planing to buy this.
But now they raised the price 5 euros... what a dupe.

Why do you call this a dupe? The price of 9.95€ was always labeled as an introductory price and exactly one month ago I raised the price to 14.95€.

Ok... I apologize, the word dupe was maybe a little rude.
It's because compared to other similar apps the price is really high, about $20...
I'm not saying i don't like your app, because i would lie then, hehe.

It's your right to claim a good price for your hard work and i got no right to complain with you about the price, but i simply think its a little bit too high priced.

Mal davon abgesehn is bei uns ja sowieso immer alles teurer als anderswo, ehehe~ Und da kann man jeden Euro gebrauchen...

So, now mark ma as spam or troll again - . - i deserved it.

Why do people keep mentioning Quicksilver. Yes, you can set up hotkeys for iTunes and it will show notifications. The problem is that the Quicksilver method does not work with the more recent versions of iTunes and the way it stores album art. So, unless you go through and manually add art to your tracks, your notifications will have no art. This is enough for me to consider an alternative to the free QS method. CoverSutra is well worth the price and is a great way to control iTunes. My two cents.

I Love CoverSutra. Thanks Sophie! ;)

Looks and works smoothly but 90% of the time I change what's happening in iTunes it's to switch playlists, not just skip a song etc., or to switch to a stream (currently using Hallon for switching to streams, and custom applescripts for switching to playlists). If these features were integrated, this would really be a step above competition in functions as well as UI.

Quicksilver (YEAH IM GONNA MENTION IT AGAIN!) has most of the functionality of this app built in free of charge, but it is sometimes a bit unstable and it has no last.fm functionality. However, unless you really like having the album artwork pop up when you pause a song using hotkeys, this is not really worth paying for.
