Product Description:

Synergy is a tiny Cocoa application for Mac OS X 10.2 (and later) 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:

This is a maintenance release. A few issues outside of my control delayed this release a little bit but things are now getting back to normal. I hope to resume a stable monthly pattern of updates from here on.

  • [Note] Updated the embedded Growl framework from version 0.6.2 to 0.7. This means that if you have Growl 0.7 or later installed on your system then Synergy will try to coalesce multiple notifications into a single notification (useful for rapidly skipping through tracks when a Growl notification is already on screen); note that not all Growl display plug-ins support coalescing.
  • [Note] Qualified for use on Mac OS X 10.4.1.

Operating System Requirements:

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

  • Mac OS X 10.4 PPC
  • Mac OS X 10.3.9
  • Mac OS X 10.3
  • Mac OS X 10.2

Additional Requirements:

I've purchased Synergy with 'free updates for a lifetime!' (your terms) long time ago. I don't see why I should pay for a version with no new features. 3.4 and 3.5 never worked flawlessly and now I have to pay for 4.0? No thanks. Good bye, I switch to Tune•Instructor (it's FREEE). A disappointed customer

The description says it is for 10.5 and later. The program will in actuality require 10.6 or later. Please fix this.

Pretty uncool move sneaking this in as a paid upgrade and uninstalling the older version.
