Sometimes you don't want all the bloated hassle that goes with iTunes. You
just want to enjoy your music. That's where Ecoute comes in an, as a
lightweight application which allows you to access your music, including all
it's glorious cover art, without the need to even touch iTunes. Ecoute works
via a small, expandable interface that allows you to expand and browse your
entire music library and even podcasts, movies, and TV shows. As with iTunes,
you can search for music and even integrate your Last.fm account with Ecoute.
What I really liked is the instant way it catalogs your music - you're ready
to go as soon as it's installed. One small problem, however, is that long
track names aren't displayed properly. It does support Growl alerts though,
so you can see exactly what's playing. The play controls pop up as soon as
you float the mouse over the cover art, which displays as soon as Ecoute
starts playing. *Ecoute is an excellent, lightweight alternative to the
increasingly bloated issues that you may have been having with
iTunes.*Download *Ecoute 3.0.8* in Softonic
