TunesArt is an iTunes software downloads that will place a cover art image of the playing song on your desktop. And if you activate the feature from Preferences – Cover Art, playback controls will appear everytime you hover your mouse near the cover art display.
The lyrics display is a nice addition for those who like to sing along. You could edit (and add) the words directly from this window. TunesArt also has a (supposedly) very nice feature to add lyrics to songs automatically from the internet. But from during my few days of trying the app, this feature was always non-functional.
Cover art
Display the cover art of current track, right on your desktop, and choose a skin among 4 available skins (classic, CD case, Vinyl cover, 3D perspective). Information displayed under the cover art are fully customizable (track name, artist, rating...). And you can display iTunes player controls when hovering cover art.
Notifications
When a new track starts playing in iTunes, a beautiful notification can be displayed in the top-right corner, under TunesArt icon in menubar. Then, you'll know the track name, artist, album, duration, rating and even cover art. If you'd prefer, display a Growl notification instead of TunesArt own notification !
Fast search
Instead of opening iTunes to play a particular track, use the TunesArt 'fast search' feature : enter your keyword, for example a part of track name or artist name, and results will be displayed instantly! In addition, everything can me performed just with your keyboard.
Keyboard shortcuts
Have you ever been frustrated to quit your keyboard just to perform some basic actions, like volume control, playing next track or changing rating? With TunesArt, you'll save your time with keyboard shortcuts, available for main features. And all shortcuts are customizable.
Lyrics
You love to sing on your favorite tracks? Then, TunesArt is just what you want! A specific window can be opened, with tracks' lyrics inside and if the track has no lyrics, download them automatically from LyricWiki and save them in track file. For sure, everything can be performed automatically (download and save).
Last.fm
You dreamt of your own radio station? With Last.fm and scrobbling feature of TunesArt, it will now be possible! You'll be able to publish track name and other information, right on your Last.fm profile. Two modes are offered: normal mode and 'Now Playing' mode which does not affect your musical profile.
