We all love music. Whether we're browsing the Internet, editing pictures in Photoshop, or even writing the next bestseller in Pages, music is always by our side. But having to switch to iTunes to pause playback or select a different song is a major distraction.
CoverSutra gives you a handy and attractive way to control iTunes without ever leaving your current app.
See what's currently playing, pause and resume playback, change songs, and even enjoy your album's artwork without being interrupted from your work. CoverSutra is always by your side and never in your way.

Customer Reviews
Last update is glitchy
Latest version keeps lagging and freezing after 30-40 minutes of playback in iTunes. It's a pity, because the stability for such apps is essential requirement
Indispensable App
Yeah, I lost all my shortcuts and settings with this latest update, but it took me about 20 seconds to fix them. No biggie. The app itself is wonderful. Being about to increase the volume, change songs, and shuffle music without using the mouse or going into iTunes is an amazing convenience. I literally wouldn't want (or at least enjoy) using iTunes without this app.
Promising but (still) useless
The only thing I want this app for is quick access to searching my music and queuing it up in iTunes DJ (the album covers etc are just annoying cruft) but when you add to iTunes DJ from this app it puts the song at the end of the list, unlike what iTunes does and makes this useless for my use case.
