As promised here is the new release of PodTunes - PodTunesColor.

It has been given a major overhaul and now features a color screen that displays the album art of the currently playing song - just like a real iPod. As before it also displays the name and artist of the current song but now also shows the track number and shows if the song is playing or paused.

You can also now switch shuffle on or off using the middle (select) button and the current shuffle status is displayed in the top left of the iPod’s screen.

A Simple iTunes controller that looks like a little iPod on your desktop.

Click play/pause, previous, next - just like you would on your real iPod. The name of the currently playing track, album and artist also appears in the iPod’s display.

There are plenty or widgets that do this, and probably one or two that are in the shape of an iPod, but this is an actual application that stays on your desktop.

This is my first project, written using Applescript Studio. I’d be interested in hearing feedback.
