With GimmeSomeTune, you can download lyrics and album cover art in a floating window and also display lyrics in another window while listening to your songs in iTunes.

  • A beautiful, translucent floating window providing you with information about the currently playing tune, customizable to what you want to see.
  • Highly configurable hotkeys. For nearly every aspect of iTunes, GimmeSomeTune has got a hotkey for you. But you can control iTunes also via the status menu in the right menu bar.
  • Cover art fetching from the internet. That’s right, GimmeSomeTune will get you covers from the internet and automatically adds them to iTunes, if you choose to. For a feature like that, you would have to pay good money, but GimmeSomeTune gives it to you for free.
  • Lyrics fetching. When GimmeSomeTune finds that you don’t have the lyrics for the currently playing song, it will go out to the web and look for the lyrics for you, automatically adding it to the song in iTunes. All this without the user having to do anything.
  • Customization. Nearly every aspect of this application is configurable to fit your personal, individual needs.
  • A launcher daemon. This starts/quits GimmeSomeTune whenever iTunes is started/quitted.
  • iChat support. GimmeSomeTune lets you specify the “Current iTunes Track” status message and it sets – if
  • “Recent Tunes” menu. Presents you with your recently played tunes and lets you replay them again.
  • A mini controller (optional too). This lets you easily and quickly control iTunes.
  • A lyrics window presenting you with the lyrics saved in iTunes and lets you easily edit the lyrics via a contextual menu, if you want to.

Sorry Windows users, it’s only for the Mac. iTunes 6 or higher required.
