Control iTunes with keyboard shortcuts.
iMote is an outstanding software tool that enhances the basic functionality of iTunes. With iMote, you can easily control iTunes features such as pausing or playing tracks, skipping to the next or previous track, and more from any other application you are using except for most games.
For instance, if you're using Safari or any other application and want to skip to the next track on iTunes, you would usually have to right-click the iTunes dock menu and select "Next Track." Alternatively, you could click the iTunes icon in the dock to open the iTunes window and then click next-track control.
However, with iMote, you get two more options for controlling iTunes. First, iMote allows you to add a system .menu item to your menu bar. You can use the menu to perform a variety of basic actions, including setting the current track's rating, changing the current playlist, and adjusting the Shuffle and Repeat settings.
The second option that iMote provides is hotkeys. With iMote, you can use hotkeys to interact with iTunes quickly and easily without touching the mouse. For example, if you want to set the currently playing track's rating to four stars, just hold the "Apple" + "Option" modifier keys, and tap the "4" number key. You can also customize your hotkeys using iMote's Preferences window.
Furthermore, iMote has a floating, transparent window called the "Floater" that provides information about the track that iTunes is playing. It displays the track's name, the album, the artist, the track's rating, and even its album artwork if it is available.
Lastly, iMote is built to use as little memory and CPU time as possible, making it the perfect choice for those who want just the right assortment of options coupled with optimum performance. Overall, iMote is an indispensable tool for anyone who wants to take full control over their iTunes library effortlessly.
