This is a great app! I work from home and listen to music. I use this app everyday to pause music, etc when taking calls and doing other work tasks. I definite must for me! I'm looking forward for the 64-bit version, buy in the mean time 3.3.6 works fine in Snow Leopard!

SizzlingKeys ReviewGreat convenience! - Version: 3.3.5, 9/1/2009 10:27AM PST

I've been using SizzlingKeys for the last couple years and I although I love how it lets me control iTunes, I *really* like how it lets me activate the screen saver or put the computer to sleep with just a single key press. I dislike having to use the mouse to do either of those tasks, and I do them both often. SizzlingKeys is a lifesaver.

I often have difficulty upgrading SizzlingKeys at work, because of the system configuration, but once I get it working, I'm happy with its responsiveness, configurability, and user interface.

SizzlingKeys ReviewUnbelievably 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?

SizzlingKeys ReviewIt's about time!! - Version: 3.3.1, 5/22/2009 06:21PM PST

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!!

SizzlingKeys CommentarySong Timer - Version: 3.2.7, 2/5/2009 07:43AM PST

Lovely product. It definitely is more convenient to just hit a couple of keys than to either cmd-tab to itunes or bring my cursor down to the dock. One suggestion: When a you show/hide the floater, I wish that it told me how long the song I am currently listening to is and how much longer there is in the song. I find myself sometimes changing back to Itunes to see how long is left, especially on longer songs (30+ min techno mixes). Thanks!

SizzlingKeys ReviewGreat - missing only one feature - Version: 3.2.6, 10/24/2008 05:10AM PST

I'm a paid user of this great software for a long time now. The software works like a charme and can't miss it. The developer was always responsive and implement feature requests after a while.

Now only one last thing is missing: A floating window with the lyrics of the current playing song. A would make it a "Pro"-feature and would like to toggle the window (moveable and resizable) with a shortcut. To make it perfect it would be nice to have a small "Edit" button (the way it works in Apple's address book) inside the window and edit the lyrics while singing along. :-)

OK, Yellow Mug - you've got the ball!

One of the best, most stable utilities out there IMO. Great results in both 10.3.9 and now 10.4 for around a year now.
