Product Description:

Clutter is a small application that lets you put music CDs on your desktop. You can drag them anywhere, they're really windows. Line them up neatly or put them in piles, it's your choice. Each one looks like the real CD's cover, and double-clicking it tells iTunes or SlimServer to play that CD.

Think of Clutter as an alternate user interface to your music collection. When deciding what to play next, instead of searching through a huge alphabetical list, let your eye roam over the covers of your favorite CDs and those you've been listening to recently.

What's new in this version:

  • Clutter is now fully localizable, and Japanese and French translations have been added thanks to Yuzuru Shiraiwa and Jean-Jacques Ardoino.
  • Playlists are now shown in the browser, as a special category below "Compilations".
  • Playlists have a special default picture (a stack of CDs).
  • Playlists show their titles even when assigned custom covers.
  • Fixed a problem where the "Treat iTunes playlists as CDs" pref (now renamed "Give playlists their own covers") would think things were playlists that weren't (resulting in a "null" playlist being displayed).
  • Titles have a white glow around them to make them more legible against dark backgrounds. (Not available on 10.2, sorry.)
  • A "Show Title" menu command can turn titles on or off for covers on the desktop.
  • At long last, selected covers are now highlighted in your preferred highlight color, instead of just green. (And there was much rejoicing.)
  • The message "Launching iTunes..." appears in the status line of the Now Playing window.
  • Clutter is now more reliable about detecting which albums are compilations.
  • No more delay loading the music library (when opening the browser or control-clicking a CD cover).

Great app!! Thank you so much. I have two wishes: 1. a less obtrusive "Now playing" window (make it transparent and/or smaller) 2. a way to easily switch between two or more pages, so that we can display a greater number of album covers.
