dashTunes is an iTunes widget controller that allows users to control iTunes playback directly from their desktop without having to open the application.
The latest version of dashTunes is currently in beta release and has undergone a bit of a redesign process that involved some significant code changes. While the design is not yet fully complete, it is mostly finished, giving users a glimpse of what to expect. The update does not include any new features, but it does address known bugs and improve system stability.
Of utmost interest is the fact that the app is extremely lightweight and unobtrusive. The developer admits that a primary goal was to make the app as small as possible without compromising its functionality. This makes it a great tool for anyone who wants to keep an eye on their music without sacrificing screen space.
Users will need to meet certain system requirements, including a Mac OS X operating system of 10.4 or later along with iTunes in order to use dashTunes. But for those who do meet these requirements, it's a great addition to their software suite, offering seamless, intuitive iTunes control in a lightweight package.
