Clutter Reviews

Now working with iTunes 11.......somewhat. I was distressed when iTunes 11 broke Clutter. It is by far my favorite interface for controlling iTunes. I set my favorite albums on the desktop. Much easier than coverflow or wading through iTunes itself. Not satisfied with its demise, I looked into the package and messed around with the "PlayArtistAlbum" script. Right click on Clutter.app (Show Package Contents) / Contents/ Resources. I made a new "PlayArtistAlbum" script by subtracting the following lines: set oldShuf to (shuffle of pl) set shuffle of pl to false -- otherwise tracks are copied to trax in random order! and set shuffle of pl to oldShuf these lines didn't work in the new iTunes 11 and would return an error message saying iTunes couldn't reset shuffle to off or some such thing. So I've got it up and running again. I'm waiting on someone who knows how the new itunes operates to fix things up even more. Any takers? The first fault i'm noticing is it doesn't play the whole album - just the the first song of the album or the song you click on. The same thing happens in "Cover Stream" another defunct iTunes interface which did a much better job than the much bemoaned CoverFlow. So it must be in how iTunes manages playlists launched by third party apps. Means you have to go into itunes and restart the playlist. But you can cherry pick individual songs, no problem. Playlists work but you can't see the individual songs in them. I don't know if that was available prior to itunes 11. Researching that too. I'm new to sourceforge so i'll try to post this in the forums if I can find them.

I recommend this project will serve you much for cleaning http://newtipsclutter.org/
