Looks like a nice update, thanks for the notice. Surprising to see you have to have .2 or higher though, early Leopard users who've yet to update are cut off from this one.

As they should be, I see no logic in not updating.

Not to keen on the new Menu Bar icon, I liked the old Heart, meh, i'll get used to it, as long as it's faster

The updates to the buttons on the HUD window are nice, but it really makes me wish Apple would standardize HUD controls. The old icon was nicer but the new menu extra icon makes a lot more sense.

For those who liked the heart icon better, there's a hidden command that you have to type in Terminal (quit CS before)

defaults write com.sophiestication.CoverSutra gender 'female'

I'm having a little problem with the new version, when I change a song using a shortcut the bezel that shows up doesn't include song info and artwork like in this screenshot (taken from Coversutra site)

All I get is:

Looks like the 2.1.1 update has fixed it. Strange, I actually found it was a feature, I just assumed it was made simpler for simplicity's sake.

Version 2.1.2 is out which fixes the skipping and rewinding keyboard shortcut bezel.

I wonder if this is going to turn into Transmission, with very rapid updates?

[CPressland]

Would be nice but it's not like theres much you can do with an application like this until it becomes bloated. I guess they could continue to lower it's memory usage, file size, etc but otherwise it's pretty perfect how it is

Man i really need to switch to mac. So many cool apps.

[CPressland]

So many cool apps.

Yes, Many being the operative word for PCtards with lame arguments like "Theres no applications on Macs"

[se7en.hu]

Exactly, surely on a PC you can find 10000000s of say, Torrent clients, but 9999999204 of them are rubbish, whereas on a mac you can find 15-20 torrent apps and they are all more or less awesome, just an example, can be used for any app.

+1, why have Windows Media Player, VLC Media Player, KPlayer, Media Player Classic when you can just have QuickTime :D

Oh wait, better example, why have...

AIM, WLM, GTalk, Yahoo, MySpace, FaceBook IM... when you can have Adium? LMAO

You're filling LTD's shoes quite nicely.

I don't think we need another one... :p

It's not so much that there aren't many good apps for OSX. I just hate the fact that something so simple as this isn't free. It's a nice program, but not really worth buying.

[Scirwode]

I don't think we need another one... :p

Indeed :p . I just wished it was free really. And that Adium is released for Windows. One can but hope :laugh: !

+1, I got it with the MacHeist bundle so it dosnt feel like quite so much of a drain on funding.
