Description of Twunes 2.2.0
BSEditor: So you’re a Twitter AND a music addict? Ever wanted to know what your (“I’m a Mac”) Twitter buddies are listening to on iTunes? Always looking for musical inspiration to widen your musical horizon?
Well, good news: here’s Twunes, my free Mac OS X application that tweets the current iTunes track’s title, artist & optional album that you’re listening to.
Key features include:
* You can hashtag the artist name so that it’s clickable in Twitter clients and you can find other people tweeting about the artist you’re listening to.
* You can add the hashtag #nowplaying which has become quite common. People on Twitter use it to tweet about the music they’re listening to.
* You can add the hashtag #fb to crosspost your tweet to Facebook, too! (Use the Facebook application “Selective Twitter State” to make this work.)
* You can add an iTunes Music Store (iTMS) link for your song — if it’s available. Twunes tries to find a match.
* The cover art of the currently playing song is shown if possible. If it’s stored in your iTunes library it’s taken from there. Otherwise Twunes tries to find a matching cover art from the iTMS. If it finds one you can click on it and preview the album in the iTMS.
* You can select from a few phrases to start the tweet with. Like “I’m listening to” or “My iTunes plays”.
* You can choose whether to include the album name or not.
* As a convenience you can remotely control three key iTunes functions: Play, pause and next track.
* Your Twitter credentials are stored safely in Mac OS X’s Keychain.
* Twunes can optionally Stay on top of all other windows. Requirements: Mac OS X 10.5 or higher
