Product Description:

Synergy is a tiny Cocoa application for Mac OS X 10.2 (and later) that puts three buttons to control iTunes in your menubar: previous track, next track, and play/pause; as well as providing you with visual feedback about the currently playing tune. Synergy can display the cover of the currently playing album. The Synergy controls, together with the ability to control iTunes via system-wide Hot Key combinations, mean that Synergy provides the fastest way of skipping between songs when using the keyboard or the mouse; all this without having to switch to iTunes, or access its Dock menu. Synergy is only 5 Euros.

Synergy won't take up precious space in your Dock as it appears only in the menubar. It provides you with ultimate control over iTunes even while you're working in other applications. The Synergy global menu provides you with quick access to recently played tracks and playlists, and the floater displays album covers (automatically downloaded by Synergy, or embedded in the tracks by iTunes) and provides information whenever a new track starts playing.

An online tour is available to take you through Synergy's features.

What's new in this version:

  • [Bugfix] Fixes a problem with license code validation on the Intel platform caused by byte-ordering issues (bug #339).

Product Requirements:

  • Mac OS X 10.2 or higher

Some of the alternatives offer stronger capabilities in one area or another, but after trying them all I keep coming back to Synergy for the best all around experience.

This is an excellent product at a fair price. For all those who complain about high-priced shareware, this one does it all without the price bloat.

2.3rc1 (release candidate 1) (29 November 2005)

[Enhancement] Synergy is now a Universal Binary meaning that it can run natively on both PowerPC and Intel processors.
[Enhancement] The embedded Growl framework has been upgraded to the latest available version (0.7.2). Growl support is only active when running on Panther (Mac OS X 10.3) and higher. Given that Growl has historically caused problems when running on Jaguar (Mac OS X 10.2) I'd appreciate hearing confirmation from users running that version of the OS that there are no problems.
