GimmeSomeTune ReviewUpdate Window shows every time I boot up - Version: 4.1.1, 9/4/2008 10:24PM PST

I paid for this and every time I reboot the computer I get a pane (PAIN) telling me that the same update/version is available for download. I couldn't get rid of it and can't get the developer's site link on the VT page to open. Outside of that, it's a handy thing to have.

This is far and away the best "remote" iTunes controller and lyric/cover fetcher I've found. I've stopped looking at others. I don't see the point. GimmeSomeTune does everything I want and is easily customizable. I modified my hotkeys so they're all intuitive to me, and I pretty much keep iTunes hidden and just use Gimme.

My only (very minor) complaint is that saving edits you make to fetched lyrics could be little easier.
