GimmeSomeTune Editor's Review

'GimmeSomeTune' is a program that adds functionality to the iTunes player.

The application adds a menu next to the clock. This menu controls the program and its interface items.

The menu has elements that can control how this application works. In this menu, you can also find a history of the recently played items. The menu also provides basic iTunes controls, including the song rating and the shuffle mode. The 'Preferences' panel can also be found there.

The best features of GimmeSomeTune are the stylish interface items. A translucent window shows you the data of the played track. Another translucent control window has the main controls, like 'Skip Back', 'Play/Stop', and 'Skip Forward'.

The 'Preferences' panel can modify the way in which the translucent windows look and what meta-data they display, etc. I was surprised to see that the application gives you tons of options. It provides great flexibility.

Pluses: It pleasantly extends the functionality of the iTunes player. It has stylish translucent windows that provide this functionality.

Drawbacks / flaws: The list of controls doesn't provide a volume control. If this application would include this functionality, then the iTunes Volume application would be useless, because it will be included in GimmeSomeTune.

In conclusion: This application is a good add-on to the iTunes player.
