Clutter 1.0b2

Clutter is a small Mac OS X application that lets you put music CDs on your desktop. You can drag them anywhere -- theyre really windows. Line them up neatly or put them in piles, its your choice. Each one looks like the real CDs cover, and double-clicking it tells iTunes -- or your SqueezeBox or SoundBridge -- to play that CD.
Think of Clutter as an alternate user interface to your music collection. When deciding what to play next, instead of searching through a huge alphabetical list, let your eye roam over the covers of your favorite CDs and those youve been listening to recently.
Theres a main window that shows the CD youre now playing -- the cover picture is looked up automatically from from Amazon.com or from iTunes 4, or you can paste in your own. (You can also export pictures to iTunes 4.) To keep a CD around for easy access, just drag the picture out of the window onto your desktop. Then double-click it whenever you want to play it.
Enhancements:
- New image, courtesy of Laurent Baumann, for an album whose cover isnt known: a round(!) gold CD.
- Clutter is better about repositioning windows that no longer fit onscreen (due to a resolution change, or disconnecting a display) and restoring them to their original position when possible.
- You can now type or use the arrow keys in the browser window without having to click on the list first.
- Type-selecting artists or albums in the browser works again.
