Works, some rough edges

Feedback Type:  Review

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: YES

This little plugin works pretty much as advertised -- displaying cover art and album and track titles. The rotating cube effect is nice. A couple of issues: First, the documentation isn't clear about how you get to the preferences settings. Since this is accessed by clicking on the button in the circle at the upper right-hand corner of the iTunes windows, it can only been found in windowed mode. Not a problem, but also not explained in the documentation.

Second, escaping out of full-screen mode results in some very weird video artifacts, at least it does on my Mac. In fact the entire desktop and menu bar are scrambled. This looks more serious than it is, apparently. Moving windows around the desktop erases this effect. A programing goof I hope the developers will correct. More effects would be great too of course.

With version 1.1 the "weird video artifacts" are eliminated.

About the settings button. It's an iTunes issue. You should complain to Apple.
I agree some iTunes functions are almost hidden. You can only discover it through time.
Maybe the plug-ins developpers should have that in mind to help users have a complete experience with their plug-in, but we can't blame them for Apple's unfinished business.
