You’re asking for trouble using Input Manager hacks; such as Safari Stand. Well, maybe not asking for trouble but such unsupported things can cause problems – I stay away myself.

Gimmesometune looks cool though; I will have to check that out.

@Azeem, downloading cover art (if the album details are provided correctly – for English songs) and lyrics is super fast. It also has an iTunes controller window.

With Safari 3 now doing MOST of what I want, I got rid of Saft, Safari Stand and PithHelmet.

I now use Safari Adblock (free and less of a performance hit than PithHelmet) and can’t give up Inquisitor (free).

I also use Leech for downloads which is not free but worth it…

But the most game-changing purchase of recent times is NetworkLocation which is awesome.

If you have an Apple notebook and move around a lot you NEED this app.

I used SafariStand all the time back on Tiger, but I had Safari hacked to not show the normal tab bar. Since no one has figured out how to remove it under Leopard, I haven’t used it. I do miss it though.

I love Safari Stand. Can you give a little more explanation on GimmeoSmeTune, like how it helps in organizing ??
