What is Gimme Some Tune?
An application that extends iTunes’ functionality. With GimmeSomeTune, you can download lyrics and album covers without the user having to do anything - so that he can do things the computer can’t do for him. Furthermore, it shows you iTunes’ currently playing song in a beautiful floating window, which you can hide with the push of a button, and it can as easily be brought back to the foreground. GimmeSomeTune offers the user a lyrics-window, which shows you the lyrics of the currently playing song. In this window, you can also edit the lyrics on the fly.







Comments and Reviews
Love this, but the most useful feature was overlooked: Global keyboard shortcuts, a.k.a. hot keys. I set up option-command-arrow keys to control iTunes playback no matter which application I'm in. This way I can quickly pause/resume playback or skip to the next song without interrupting what I'm doing. Next to Quicksilver the best productivity tweak I know!
