iTunes Surfer ReviewGetting better... - Version: 2.0b2, 2/24/2004 10:54AM PST

...but still not quite there. Application becomes unresponsive if you quite iTunes first.

Would love to be able to control iTunes from this app also, much like KTunes or Synergy.

Head and sholders above the last version! Thank you!!!

iTunes Surfer CommentaryI tried it and I see it's real use but I would rather it just show what is playing in iTunes - Version: 2.0b2, 2/24/2004 09:33AM PST

Like the previous writers i would prefer a preference that would just allow the user to have showing in the ticker what is playing in iTunes at the moment. When it is necessary to go shopping another feature of the preferences file could be selected.

iTunes Surfer Usage TipBeen waiting a long time for something like this... - Version: 2.0b1, 2/9/2004 08:25AM PST

Seems a little quirky though. I've been waiting a long time for something to come out that scrolls the current track or ALL the information from an internet radio station like iTunes does (song title, artist, album, etc.), but in the menu bar so all I have to do is look up. No clicking or anything. That way I can just keep working in whatever app I'm in at the time.

It seems to always want to connect to the internet. I would like an option to turn this feature off. I really don't care what is in the iTunes store as I am on dial up and don't download songs anyway. I just want the current track info.

Also, I would like more control over the font, or at least make it not so bold.

Thanks for all the hard work! Looking forward to the next revision!
