Tunatron is simple and (hopefully) fast application to control iTunes from keyboard. Actually, not completely control, but just search for/change a track, that's all it intends to do. Set a global hotkey, and you're good.
Some notes:
- The interface is not exceptionally pretty, just useful - if you want to fix that, please contribute (either with ideas what to do or with code).
- I'm not an experienced Cocoa developer, so if you see ways to improve code, suggestions are very welcome (better idiomas, better separation of code, etc).
I'm not sure if I forgot anything? Whatever, just try it, if you despise iTunes slow and inefficient search, or if you like how Foobar2000 search works, or if you like Textmate/emacs' ido-mode/vim's command-T scatter matching for searching for files.
Here's how it looks like:
- improve searching (use smarter index/dictionaries, etc)
- use persistent id: track number to search for a song instead of current iteration
- album cover images in separate column
- playing queue maybe?
