Boink is a software that allows easy control of iTunes, featuring cover art downloads and playlist sharing.
With the "See My Friends" feature, Boink opens the dashboard and displays what your friends are currently playing in iTunes. This helps you discover new music and stay updated with what your friends are listening to.
Another notable feature is "Find Playlists." This command allows you to view and download playlists created by your friends. You can then import them via iTunes and enjoy the latest tracks handpicked by your buddies.
Boink's "Download Cover Art" command uses your tracks catalog on SonicSwap to find the appropriate album cover art for your iTunes tracks. It takes about 1.5 minutes to download and store cover art for each album, so it's recommended that you download art for a section of your library at a time. The command doesn't add or remove cover art if it already exists in a track and can even save a copy of the cover art in a separate folder for you to use outside of iTunes.
"Get Lyrics & Search Sonicswap" allows you to find discography or lyrics for your tracks directly in your web browser. You can select a song or play it and then choose to search SonicSwap or get the lyrics.
Boink also allows you to sync your iTunes database with SonicSwap, which matches tracks in your collection with commercially released albums in their database and adds them to your track catalog on the SonicSwap site. Moreover, it automatically builds playlists of what's missing and even has an automated track tagging feature that lets you add tags to your tracks without interrupting your work.
The app requires iTunes 4.7 or later and a free SonicSwap.com account to download cover art and share playlists. The latest release of Boink comes with some exciting new features such as "SyncUp" that compares two music collections and builds playlists of what's missing, "Transfer Music" that lets you easily move music between computers, "Ignore Track Forever" that allows you to fast forward and uncheck tracks you never want to hear again, and more.
Overall, Boink is a must-have for everyone who loves to discover new music and stay updated with what their friends are listening to. The app's impressive features, easy-to-use interface, and improved performance make it worth the download.
