Pimping iTunes

Itunes-5.0.1
Apple recently released iTunes 5.0.1 to the world. I realized with this release that I’ve yet to write any tips on iTunes– which is ridiculous considering how frequently I use it. More specifically, “pimping iTunes”, consists of installing and using iMote.

iMote is:

an amazingly useful tool for controlling basic iTunes functions (like pausing/paying the current track, skipping to the next or previous track, etc.) from any application.

iMote has not only increased my productivity (I don’t have to switch to iTunes to change the song), but also helped me establish a more organized music library (I can easily rate the currently playing song from any application).

Plus I love seeing the song that I’m going to be hearing.

Imote-Floater

So head on over and check out iMote.

Disclamer: This post was not endorsed in anyway. These are my true thoughts. :)
