TuneX

TuneX is an excellent application designed to grant users access to iTunes through any running application on their computer. It is impressively easy to use, and users don't have to worry about screen space as TuneX is specifically designed to take up the barest minimum.

With TuneX, you can get much more than just basic features such as Play/Pause, Back Track, Next Track, and Volume control. It allows you to access more fundamental features of iTunes such as organizing your music library as well. This makes it a fantastic app for music lovers who want easy access and control over their music library without necessarily stopping what they're doing.

The only drawback with TuneX is that it comes with a ten-day trial, but that's hardly a surprise with a product this good. Recently, developers have released an update that fixed several bugs, including the annoying one that caused the app to quit if a track started to play without artwork.

Furthermore, the update included optimized code to increase speed slightly and improve the user's overall experience. There are also updated status menu icons and more polished features such as hiding all drop-down windows when not in use, ensuring they don't interfere with full-screen apps.

TuneX requires iTunes 6 or later, although it might also work with earlier versions not currently tested. Overall, TuneX is a must-have application for music lovers who want to enhance their music experience without having to worry about stopping anything else they're doing on their computer.
