DockArt

This one’s just for looks I suppose, but it’s very clever. DockArt is a plugin for iTunes that will replace the Dock’s iTunes icon with the album artwork of whatever song happens to be playing at the moment. It’s very cool.

Place the .bundle file in Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins, then restart iTunes. There will be a new DockArt entry in the Visualizer menu up top, but you don’t even need to select it.

If the current song has no artwork, the regular iTunes menu will show.

Parsley Is Atomically Deicious

When I got my first iPod with video, the first thing I did was convert all episodes of The Office to be iPod ready. For that I used iSquint. It worked great, but when I got it on the iPod, I was bummed to see that I couldn’t add all the right tags to it like season, episode, year, description, and mark it as a “TV Show.” That bothered me. I’m a bit of an organize freak.

This is why I was so glad to see Parsley Is Atomically Delicious. PAD let’s you add all these tags, and it gives you a really nice interface to do so. It will also let you work with music videos and movies.

Finally, I can rest in organizational bliss. (And they get bonus points because the icon makes me think of El Farolito’s in San Francisco…the best taqueria on the planet.)

Last.fm Player

Like Pandora, Last.fm is a free online “radio” where you get to choose the music. You can choose, for example, to play music similar to Jason Mraz or any artist. You can also search by keyword.

Last.fm also has an iTunes plugin that will pay attention to what music you listen to in your own iTunes library and tailor your “radio station” to include similar music.

(If you’re looking for good, hand-selected music, check out freemacmusic.com.)

There is even a Macosxhints.com hint about how to get your Last.fm radio station into iTunes.
