Product Description:

Synergy is a tiny Cocoa application for Mac OS X that puts three buttons to control iTunes in your menubar: previous track, next track, and play/pause; as well as providing you with visual feedback about the currently playing tune. Synergy can display the cover of the currently playing album. The Synergy controls, together with the ability to control iTunes via system-wide Hot Key combinations, mean that Synergy provides the fastest way of skipping between songs when using the keyboard or the mouse; all this without having to switch to iTunes, or access its Dock menu. Synergy is only 5 Euros.

Synergy won't take up precious space in your Dock as it appears only in the menubar. It provides you with ultimate control over iTunes even while you're working in other applications. The Synergy global menu provides you with quick access to recently played tracks and playlists, and the floater displays album covers (automatically downloaded by Synergy, or embedded in the tracks by iTunes) and provides information whenever a new track starts playing.

An online tour is available to take you through Synergy's features.

What's new in this version:

Added a checkbox to temporarily disable the submission of track information to last.fm (fulfills feature request #1310); this is ideal for those times when you don't want what you're currently listening to be "scrobbled" to the website.
Removed some out-of-date localized resources.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

Mac OS X 10.5 Intel
Mac OS X 10.5 PPC

Additional Requirements:

None

Synergy is the name of a well known program to share mouse and keyboard between different computers and/or operating systems: http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/

Calling this program Synergy as well will just cause confusion.

Developer sold �upgrades� from synergy to Synergy Advance but NEVER finished the product. Would not trust again with my money. Synergy is a great program but poor customer service kills it for me.

It's nice, the button's are cool, and the features are great, but it has made my Mac crash. I had to boot from the Panther (10.3) install CD to remove it; I couldn't actually start up. Other than that, it's pretty good.
