Screenshots
GimmeSomeTune is a Mac program developed by Eternalstorms that serves as a status item for iTunes. It automatically displays album covers and track lyrics for the songs playing in iTunes, enhancing the overall music experience. The program features a sleek interface with a discreet dark grey window that pops up to show information about the currently playing song, such as track name, length, and rating. Additionally, the lyrics appear in a separate pop-up window with a sidebar for easy browsing.
One of the standout features of GimmeSomeTune is its compatibility with Last.fm. Users can control the program and iTunes using customizable hotkeys, even allowing for rating songs. The preferences menu offers further customization options, including the ability to automatically fetch album covers from selected websites and integration with the Mac remote control.
While the program impresses with its interface and functionality, there are a couple of drawbacks to note. The GimmeSomeTune info window cannot be resized, which may be a limitation for some users. Additionally, the process of uninstalling the program is not clearly explained.
Overall, GimmeSomeTune is an excellent application for music lovers who enjoy seeing album covers and lyrics for their songs. It seamlessly integrates with iTunes and provides a visually appealing and convenient way to enhance the music listening experience.
