Jacket 0.6.2 (Mac OS X)
I've been using Jacket for a few years now, and in my mind, it's the best and most usable iTunes plug-in out there. Sure, it's not as fancy looking as JewelCase or even Front Row, but no other visualization plug-in let's you rate your songs in full screen mode. Jacket may be basic looking, but it gives you everything you need; the CD cover enlarged to fill the screen, and artist, album and song info displayed in any font size you like. In preferences I set "Expand [CD cover] to fit window size" and "Reverse Black/White to make the background black. Then I use the font Helvetica Neue Black Condensed at 72 pt aligned to the left. That makes the best full screen view I've found. The way I use Jacket, is using it in Full Screen mode on big screen TVs or monitors throughout my house. It's perfect to have the CD cover and song information displayed so large that you can easily see it across a big room. Then, by having a wireless bluetooth keyboard at hand, I can rate songs by pressing a number key while cooking or working out. Why no other plug-in can do this is a mystery... My only gripe is that the Full Screen mode doesn't work properly the last year or so. I have several Macs, and have tried to find a pattern, but to no avail. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Anyway, you can still use it, as the normal mode is maybe 90% of Full Screen. However, I would be very grateful if the programmer could fix this. Thanks for a great plug-in! [alert admin]

Synch iPod-iTunes Data 1.0.1 (Mac OS X)
What a brilliant script! It really saved my life and made it possible to get ratings and playcounts over from the iPod to iTunes even though the iPod was set to "manually manage music". Please note however that it doesn't seem to work to just sync selected playlists. I needed to choose entire iPod and sync that with the corresponding playlists in iTunes to get it to work.

httpmail plugin 1.48 (Mac OS X)
I installed the httpmail plugin on my dual 2.0 G5 with 10.4.6 about a week ago, and it has worked flawless since then. No problems whatsoever. I highy recommended it! I was initially hesitant to install the plugin, since there are some bad reviews here, particularily one about lost mail, but now I'm really happy I did! [alert admin]
