Synergy 1.5b Ready for Download

by , 11:00 AM EST, November 23rd, 2004

Wincent Colaiuta has released Synergy 1.5b, his iTunes control and album over art downloading utility. Synergy allows you to control iTunes from the menu bar of your Mac, and the new version adds new features to the software, and includes performance enhancements.

The main new feature of the software is a rewrite of the communications subsystem. Mr. Colaiuta says that the rewrite takes advantages of changes in the newest iTunes release, version 4.7. That rewrite improves performance, including the response of Synergy's floater window.

The full change logs from Mr. Colaiuta:

  • [Feature] Complete rewrite of communications subsystem: when Synergy is used with iTunes 4.7 it no longer has to periodically poll iTunes, resulting in vastly improved responsiveness and reduced resource usage.
  • [New] Multiple additions to the Online Button Set gallery. The gallery now contains 70 free sets, including 11 news sets by Aaron Martin, David Nicholson, Greg Granito, Hervé Pfeiffer, Mike R Manzano and Thomas Stitzer.

You can find more information on Synergy at Wincent Colaiuta's Web site. The update is free to registered users, and the full version is priced at US$10.

Great little app. Not worth the FEE, when there are so many other freewares out there that do the same thing. Sure for some reason none of them pull it all together well enough to merit a charge, but if iTunes is free, an iTunes app should also be free. When will TINY TINY TINY SMAL INSIGNIFICANT application crerators understand its getting your work out there to prove you CAN do it, then to make $ doing it. Save that for when a BIG project comes along that was handed to you because of all the FREEWARE you created. F*cking $$$.
