Control iTunes with CoverSutra

Most software applications available at this time can be improved a lot, and that's why so much additional programs appear for each "big one". Apple's iTunes is, without any doubt, a "big one", and it's nothing out of ordinary to find out that a new tool made to ease your iTunes user life appeared.

Sophiestication is a small digital design company located in Ludwigshafen, Gernaby, ran by Sophia Teutschler, one of those rare female developers, specialized in web and desktop based application development, web design and user interface design. Its first commercial product is CoverSutra, officially announced three days ago.

CoverSutra 1.0 is a fast and useful application that gives you a variety of methods to easily control iTunes. First of all, you are able to setup global shortcuts in order to work with iTunes from anywhere, gaining complete control over your music.

The Information Bezel allows CoverSutra to alert you of any song change, so you always know what's playing, working easily with Shortcuts and your Apple Remote, delivering feedback for every single action.

At last, the Instant Player Controls floating window puts useful information such as playback position, album artwork and song details, while a really interesting feature puts a little CD jewel case displaying the artwork of the currently playing song right on your desktop.

According to the official website, if you buy version 1.0, you will get free upgrades until version 2. CoverSutra's first version requires Mac OS X 10.4.7 or later to run, as well as iTunes 7.0.2 or higher. Priced at 12.95$, CoverSutra is available as a Universal Binary, and a 10 days trial version can be downloaded from our site here.
