intelliTunes – iTunes addition
intelliTunes - GimmeSomeTune clone.
Download the latest version here or visit the intelliTunes page here.
Since this is I-needed-it-so-I-build-it-ware you can always email me if you have a question / suggestion or found a bug ! The application is basically a port of the functionality I miss when I am on my windows machine and that the GimmeSomeTune application gave me on OSX.
With its unique set of features, intelliTunes for windows is the perfect companion for your music collection in iTunes, on your iPod and your iPhone.
Fetch artwork.
No other software we know of lets you fetch artwork for your songs in iTunes for Windows so easily and quickly as intelliTunes.
Just start playing a song - intelliTunes will do the rest. After all, that's what you have a pc for.
Fetch lyrics.
In the same, easy way intelliTunes fetches artwork, it also fetches lyrics for your songs.
More accurately than any other software we know about.
How does it work ?
Download the zip file containing the setup.exe here, and install the application.
I would advise to add the application to your windows startup folder. The application will not auto start together with iTunes, so I should be started manually (or through your startup folder).
Doubleclicking the tray icon will start iTunes if it wasn't running, or play/pause if it was already present. Rightclicking the tray icon will give you the option to change the settings, review trackInfo or view lyrics.
Drop me a line if you have any remarks / comments.

I ran across your program while searching on the internet for something similar to GimmeSomeTune-hoping to find someone who was smart enough to rewrite the program for XP. I downloaded your program (crossing my fingers that it would work).
I opened itunes and your program and it worked like a charm!! The lyrics and artwork download within seconds.. I couldn’t believe it! Wow!

Hi Stefan,
Ran across your programme also while searching for GimmeSomeTunes for PC (not Mac). Works good, even for Itunes 8!
But, can you make it go over the whole library at once; to download all album art it can find?
Such a feature would be great for those who don’t use their PC to play the music (if you use mainly an MP3 player).
Since I have 3000+ albums, it’s a lot to do it manually!

“Unfortunately, due to licensing restrictions from some of the major music publishers we can no longer return lyrics through the LyricWiki API (where this application gets some or all of its lyrics).
The lyrics for this song can be found at the following URL:
http://lyricwiki.org/AC%2FDC:Whole_Lotta_Rosie
AC/DC:Whole Lotta Rosie
(Please note: this is not the fault of the developer who created this application, but is a restriction imposed by the music publishers themselves.)”
is there anything i can do?

Unquestionably imagine that which you stated. Your favourite reason seemed to be on the net the easiest thing to consider of. I say to you, I definitely get irked even as other people consider worries that they plainly don’t recognise about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the highest as neatly as outlined out the entire thing without having side effect , people can take a signal. Will probably be again to get more. Thanks
