This update makes me want to switch back as I like some of the functionality of this app vs. the other and this update makes it even prettier. However there's one problem. CoverSutra takes up about 45Mb of real RAM while running. this app jumps right up to 256Mb of RAM, almost more than iTunes or my instance of Safari. I don't think an "iTunes controller" should take up as much or more RAM than your web browser. Hopefully the devs can optimize this and fix it.
