Use in combination with Butler and you have it all - Version: 2.3.0, 7/20/2006 12:59AM PST

Install Butler and you will have full access to the iTunes Library and Playlists, including hotkeys for play/pause, next/previous track, volume and info (even rating hotkeys). Coupled with QuickTunes you get the constant display of the song/artist without having to punch hotkeys.

Only thing lacking is access to playlists and the option to navigate through the library, but I guess that's what iTunes is for. I did try "You Control: Tunes," and while being more functional for navigation, it lacks hotkeys for volume control or play/pause, which is ultimately more of a necessity than library navigation.

Works great! One suggestion... - Version: 2.3.0, 7/12/2006 04:44PM PST

Very nice iTunes companion!
One suggestion though: How about being able to switch playlists within the menu?
