Veenix Software for Macintosh

2008-06-19T04:09:09-07:00

The free beta version of Veenix TuneExplorer impressed me. It analyzed all the music in my iTunes music folder, categorized it according to genre and sub-genre, and according to energy level (style, beats per minute, etc.). It allows me to export these energy-based or genre-based playlists to my iTunes. But it has so many other features it will be tempting to run all my music from TuneExplorer.

Isolator

2008-06-05T06:22:55-07:00

Isolator is donationware that blacks out the background, desktop, and desktop icons, leaving only the current application's window(s) visible. Distracted? Isolate.
