Comment and replies on GimmeSomeTune:
I have a problem: It doesn't fetch lyrics (covers are OK) anymore, am I the only one to have this problem? It seems to be recent.
PS: 'Lag' comes from the insertion of lyrics and cover in the tag of played track, itunes does not know how to read a file which is 'moving' (there is only one 'lag' per file, it happens near the beggining of the track only the fisrt time the file is played).
If you like iTunes and you're picky about your artwork and lyrics...this is the program for you. The best one of it's kind
Was good. I want to love this, even donated based on its previous functionality. But lately its been substandard, failing to fetch lyrics and cover art properly. Latest glitch i've noticed is that fetched lyrics aren't being saved into the itunes file...
Like I said, was good, want to love it, hopefully there's an update on the horizon.
the 4.1 version doesn't show song notifications anymore (preferences are all set). The window only shows when i click the "show/hide gimmesometune window" from the menu item, but not when songs change. anyone else having this issue? (leopard, latest)
The latest version (4.1) is now good enough for me to replace GrowlTunes. I really like what GimmeSomeTune is turning into. Too bad it doesn't use Growl, though. Maybe it wouldn't be able to show song info as well as it does now. The new feature that was previously missing for me is the left or right alignment of its main window. Matthias Gansrigler, you're doing great work!
i have the same problem cleveland...
GimmeSomeTune doesn't show the info window anymore when iTunes is the frontmost application, because the info is right there in the iTunes window anyways.
If the window doesn't show although iTunes isn't the frontmost application, please write me an eMail at support_AT_eternalstorms.at
Thanks.

Comment and replies on Pixelmator:
Coming from Photoshop, it felt a bit clunky. GUI is nice and all, and my girlfriend freaked out when she first saw it, but other than that it might be better to charge something like $40. I don't see how basically GIMP with a pretty border could be $59.
What can I say. Looks pretty. Bought it as part of the Mac Food offer. I use Photoshop for the bulk of my bitmap work and ChocoFlop for the simple quick launch stuff (need a screengrab as a png?). I was expecting Pixelmator to sit somewhere between the two.
I've tried to use it for two tasks. Task 1: Take a screen grab from swf and output a gif. What, no optimization controls? This file has a max size limit specified by the Media Buyer. Task 2: Take a bunch of logos trim them off their backgrounds. What, no access to channels? This would be quicker (and cleaner) in Photoshop even with the hassle of waiting for it to open. On both occasions I had to return to Photoshop. Both of these tasks are also doable in Gimp.
This image editor should have a great future if more attention is placed on the basics, it's already got heaps going on in the special effect department.
Really like it. As a complete photo editing noob, I found it really easy to use. The controls are all really intuitive (in my opinion) and the UI is gorgeous. I'll be buying it in the upcoming MacHeist bundle.
Beautiful? You bet! Useful? Sort of. It definitely has a ton of potential... but for now, it's all hype that's leading this app in the popularity ratings. Remember, this is JUST MY OPINION!
Not bad. Performance is bad on large images.
It's what photoshop elements for the mac SHOULD be.
The interface sucks. This massive misuse of HUD-style windows (a.k.a. "transparent panels") totally kills usability.
If anyone can discover a way to simply align layers, you're my hero -- but I have the sinking suspicion that Pixelmator doesn't actually support basic functionality like that. A lot of potential in this app, but the basics desperately need work.
i'm not proud to have paid for this one. i appreciate the effort, but it's got a long way to go before i could be happy with it as a useful tool.

Awesomely awesome app. The only time it doesn't fetch lyrics is when I have an obscure album categorization. Even does Japanese artists! Truly great.
