Snarb.tk has released Cover Stream 1.0, an US$14.95 iTunes controller that gives you access to iTunes Cover Flow right from your desktop without switching applications.
Cover Stream also introduces Flip-Browsing, which lets you pick an album, flip it over, pick a track. It also gives you access to all your iTunes playlists. Flip the window over, pick a playlist or track, hit return and you’re off.
With global, customizable keyboard shortcuts, Cover Stream gives you control over iTunes from any application. You can play, pause, skip, rate, adjust sound volume, hide or show iTunes, and much more, without interrupting your workflow.
Track info and album artwork is displayed in a small, floating bezel window. In addition, Cover Stream’s dock icon reflects the album artwork of the song you’re currently listening to.
Cover Stream requires Mac OS X 10.5 (“Leopard”) or later, and a consolidated iTunes music library. The folks at Snarb.tk say that upgrades will always be free of charge.
