Damn, this is amazing! I used to use harmonic, which was good but could not find a lot of lyrics and was a hassle to add lyrics artificially. This found a lot of stuff that harmonic can't (like my dream theater cover album, which was pretty impressive) and it is much more configurable. Also, it has an iTunes controller in it which is a nice touch. Best lyric getter yet in my opinion

Love this app, finds more lyrics than any of the other apps I've tried. Props to the dev.

Better than Harmonics (can't find a lot of songs), SingthatiTune (unstable) and of course rather more up-to-date than the unfortunate pearLyrics.

really good widget after all...i like how it doesn't paste incorrect lyric when you change the song...everything is good except for one fact if you want it to go download quickly you need to make it so that it only has one source (metro lyrics recommended) and then it's still pretty slow. oh and i miss singthatitune's album artwork catcher which this doesn't have bcus of the simple fact that the iTunes store doesn't have every single piece of album artwork. Plus Harmonic is much faster but other than that it's alot more solid than its companions much more recommended than the rest =)

Best app for the mac hands down and makes final cut look like a joke. The absolute best for video editing or currency conversion you can find. Many of my friends switched to mac just for this.

@roeme
STOP LYING! OSX is not out until september and Jobs has already stated that he is putting in the pet catalogue instead of currency conversion so he can go after the exotic pet market. He is saving the calculator for VistaLeopard.

wow, looks like a lot of coversutra fanboys (2) have marked the previous post as spam. I understand if you disagree, but please just comment why you think I'm wrong rather than just blindly clicking the bury button. Just remember, I actually do use this product, but I got it off mac heist for free when they were doing that promotion.

I switched from the old Synergy to CoverSutra and I've really enjoyed its feature set and interface. I love its integration with last.fm, I never liked having iScrobbler running in my menubar for no reason other than to communicate tracks to last.fm, having CoverSutra take care of this for me is welcome. Registered.

I also switched from Synergy. I bought CoverSutra for 7.95€ in the Back to School promo. This is a sexy app but IMHO there's no way that an iTunes Controller worth more than 10€.

I.E. Synergy costs 5€, is really CoverSutra 3 times better than Synergy? I don't think so.

BTW I love this app and I also will love some custom cover support (like vinyl replacement) anytime soon :)

Wow! Sophie, I am sorry, but 15 euors for a software that offers little feature over open or free alternative. I know developers have to live, but all common sense and market rules go against such products....

The screenshots looks really cool and it looks like there is a bit more than what Quicksilver, SizzlingHotKeys, Proxi, etc... can do in CoverSutra. You should start by rewriting the description to put that forward and try to make a difference in the features you offer if you really want to ask a price that high!

I love CoverSutra. I bought it about ten minutes after I ran the demo for the first time. This program is basically the rest of iTunes to me.

regarding 2.0: i think the whole point of growl notifications is so that applications don't have to have their own notification system, and everything looks standardized. and also, it won't show growl notifications when you, the user, change the song. only when it completes a song and then goes to the next song. i understand you can disable the coversutra notifications, but then you don't know what song is playing when you fast forward, except by listening. i'm sure the pretty graphics could be put into the growl notifications, and if you want the bezel style, you can have it in growl. but why force us?

and also: you can't select a single key as a hotkey, it has to have a modifier. i like to use the tilde key, personally.

until these problems are taken care of, i'll stick with totaltunes control.

I also like to have all the notifications taken care of by growl. The best solution for me so far is Menuet. Shows growl notifications an let's me set Hotkeys to control iTunes.

Does this handle any cover art functions besides showing it in the display?

It always amazes me that people use Quicksilver to control iTunes. I love Quicksilver, and I tried using it to control iTunes - it's terrible! The plug-in seems to just be a pile of applescripts, and is an ungodly slow way to do things in iTunes. When someone is trying to talk to me, and I hit pause, I want it to pause now. Coversutra is quite quick at this. I couldn't justify the price before, but now that v2 has searching, I'll rarely even have to use the iTunes interface. That makes it worth the price to me. That said, the searching UI could use some improvements... IMO, it should behave more like spotlight, where enter plays the top hit. Also there should be a way to play album in iTunes instead of song (from the search dropdown) without using the mouse. It really is lovely software though - both visually and functionally.

Is Coversutra 2 going to be available to 1.2 owners?

Whats up with the hating? Coversutra is a nicely designed app, thats pretty low price and does what it says.

Yes version 2.0 is a free upgrade for existing customers. You should have received your new serial by mail.

I bought this, received a code for 2.0 but as I am running OSX 10.4 I need to use the older 1.2 version. Whilst I am able to download this version my serial number does not work and the author has not responded to the multiple support emails I have sent so sadly I cannot use this software, even though I have paid for it.

May you please download version 1.2.1 from my website (http://coversutra.com/get/1.2/). This version accepts both the 1.x and the new 2.x serial numbers.

I'm sorry that you didn't received any reply from me. I always reply to support stuff like this so I guess either your mail to me or my e-mail to you got lost.

Thanks very much! I'll be sure to give that a go.

Thanks. Just tried that and all is well.
