iTube 1.2 by geckointernet

Thu, 16 Apr 2009 00:09:09 -0400

I love the album the art feature in iTunes, but it would be cooler if you see the music video to the song you are listening to. Well now you can!YouTube has stacks and stacks of music videos on their website. I have written an OS X widget called iTube. iTube gets the artist and title of the song you are playing in iTunes. It then performs a search on youtube and plays the first hit in the widget window. Once installed iTube works by itself in the background, so start a song up iTunes then check your dashboard and with a little luck you�ll be watching what you are listening to.
