Sizzling Keys for Mac is by far the most used and most valuable application in my arsenal. It is one of my Startup Items, which means I don’t have to manually open it – it opens on start up.
With global keyboard shortcuts that you can assign, Sizzling Keys works as a universal controller of your iTunes. While you’re working in any other app, a combination of keys can pause, skip track, or change the volume of your iTunes music, saving you the trouble of popping up your iTunes window with Apple+tab or the mouse. As you know, any way to avoid touching your mouse is increasing your efficiency. If you listen to iTunes a lot, SizzlingKeys is huge.
Sizzling Keys’ functions are not limited to pausing, searching or volume control. You can assign it to do a lot more. Best of all, it’s a free download. The Pro edition, which doesn’t cost (or offer) much more, is available for $5. Click here to download Sizzling Keys.
