Introducing HUDTunes! A small compact iTunes controller using the HUD style. Has play/pause, rewind/ back track, fast forward/next track, and volume control. Current song, artist or album is displayed in the window's title. Menubar displays track title, artist and album, and user preferences have been added

Version: 1.1

when I'm closing it this comes:

and it's permanently at the top...

well, I think this could be a better and simple coversutra clone (It would be cool so) in the next time...
but then it needs an menubaricon/dockicon switcher and global shortcuts...

it would be nice :rolleyes:

Ok, well it's programmed to quit the app when the window is closed, AND I just tested it on my brothers laptop and I'm getting no errors whatsoever.

Thanks MacDeviant! Glad to see it working
To the others, are you guys running intel macs? It's supposed to be UB but it still could be an issue.

I suppose I could do that!
I'm adding some preferences to let the user choose if they want the song title, artist or album as the window title (or have just as "HUDTunes")
