Unbelievably good. - Version: 3.3.4, 6/27/2009 10:59AM PST

I used Synergy for a long time, and that was a fine app. SizzlingKeys is even better in terms of design and ease of use, has more features (the ability to search your iTunes library, locate individual tracks, and start playing them without ever leaving the application your working in is sheer genius), and decidedly more unobtrusive. Even if you pay for the pro version, you're still getting an incredible deal.

Since the developer invites feature requests, how about this: a hotkey to control the various Equalizer settings. Is that doable?

Let me tell you, I've gone through a number of itunes controllers over the years (Synergy, iMote, Youcontrol, Bowtie, Quicksilver to name a few). This is by far the best. The fact that it's a preference pane already had me excited. No more app launching, dock icon hiding, menubar displaying apps. Setting up hotkeys on the other apps is easy, but it's even simpler with SizzlingKeys. So I'm enjoying my configuring and exploring the application then BOOM! A hot key for listing your playlists!!!! (In a nice floating window by the way). Then BOOM! A hot key for searching your library!!! Are you friggin kidding me?? WHY AREN'T YOU CHARGING FOR THIS APP??

After testing this for a couple of days for memory leaks and stability, I will be upgrading to the pro version to support this developer.

Excellent!!

itunes dj broke the 'add to party shuffle' functionality, which is basically the main reason i used this app.
