Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

Barquee looks like everything I need and want in an Itunes controller... unfortunately it doesnt work, the Track Ticker just doesnt change when the song does. I really do like the look and feel of the product and I'll be keeping track of any development, the app has a lot of promise.

With that said, fortunately, after an entire day of searching, I found an alternative that works flawlessly! Its an unknown Japanese developed app (Translated to English) thats not on VT. The link to the site is "http://homepage.mac.com/kenta6/kTunes/" (You can translate the site in google) and the direct download link is "http://homepage.mac.com/kenta6/kTunes/kTunes-1.4.3.zip"

Trust me, this is an awesome, AND FREE! App that does everything I want. I couldnt be happier!

Nice... if it worked. - drtimothyjames

I have a license for Barquee but haven't used the program in ages. So I have no comment on it here. But thank you for the referral to kTunes! This program really is great. I was using TuneX (a good program), but this lets me put a progress bar right in the menu bar. kTunes works well and doesn't seem to slow down my system like some iTunes programs. Seems to work fine with iTunes 7. Nice tip.
