Playwatch 1.7.1

Enhance and speed up the management of your music library and iTunes. Integrate a utility for displaying a short preview of the information available for the currently playing song on your desktop or atop the currently active window at a single click. Visualize title, artist, and other data.

Playwatch... Listening to your favorite music while working or surfing the Internet can be very inspiring and/or relaxing. But sometimes you hear a song and can't think or the title, or know the song title and can't think of the artist. But you really want to know. So you have to interrupt your work, and bring up iTunes to find out what you're listening to. Wouldn't it be nice if you could get the information with just a glance?

With Playwatch you catch a glimpse of all the information without disturbing you work, right in the menubar of your Mac. Song title, artist, album and more are displayed with simple and pleasant transition effects in an unobtrusive ticker window in your menu bar. Colors, fonts, size and scroll speed are all fully customized so your copy of Playwatch can match your style and your Mac.

To see cover art or lyrics, just move your mouse to the ticker to bring up the heads up display. You can even control iTunes from Playwatch.
