Top 5 iTunes Widgets… EVER

I can’t imagine my music without iTunes, and neither can I imagine my desktop without widgets. So here they are in no particular order…

I give you the top 5 iTunes Yahoo Widgets :

1. iTunes Companion

iTunes Companion is a highly customizable, highly functional iTunes remote which searches for missing album cover art for your current iTunes track at amazon.com and downloads it to your hard drive.

Among other things, the Widget also searches for song lyrics which are then saved right into iTunes, and can be read from your iPod.

2. iTunes ezrate

Do you have a large library of iTunes music? Do you want to leverage the ratings feature to create useful smart playlists, but are frustrated with the tiny rating toggle in the iTunes interface? If so, Itunes EZRate is for you.

Use it in conjunction with an iTunes control Widget or the compact mode for a minimalist view that focuses on rating all of your favorite (and least favorite) tunes.

3. Sleep Music

With SleepMusic, you will now be able to fall asleep and wake up in music! You can set the time when you want the music to stop, restart or even just decrease in volume, so you can even use SleepMusic as an alarm clock!

Since the Widget acts on the master volume of the computer, you can use it with every music players (Winamp, ITunes, etc.). In fact, with any program using your speakers!

4. Jasmine Tunes

Aimed at providing an alternative user interface to Itunes, remote widgets are a dime a dozen in Yahoo Widgets gallery. Jasmine Tunes is however a refreshing change in design, and offers a large amount of customization.

5. iUpdate

You tell iUpdate when you want you iPod to be ready for you and it does the rest. iUpdate will launch iTunes, update all of your podcasts, synchronize your iPod then close iTunes so your iPod is ready to go when you are.

There you have it - The best of the best! If I missed out anything let me know!
