yeah, cool app :) :thumbsup:

could need shuffle and repeat buttons
it's crashing all the time. but other then that nice work.
Crashing? Hm, haven't had that problem before...do you get any error messages?
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.
Works perfectly on MacPro intel, thanks... great lil player! :thumbsup:
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.
very cool. just kill the dock item.
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")
awesome :thumbsup:
thanks, dock item has been killed!
doing preferences now
damn nice
Thanks a lot :D
Works on a Mac Pro, thanks. :D
Your welcome! Glad you like it!
Works great on my end :D.
Good to hear, not sure what was up with the other two who got the error
