I am always on the look for a simple, yet easy to use application that allows me to control my iTunes listening, without having to even touch iTunes. To me, it’s always a little bit of a nuisance to have to switch windows back and forth to change the album, artist or playlist that I’m listening to. Enter the world of CoverSutra, this application allows you to change the song, artist, album or playlist you’re listening to through designated shortcuts, through the application window, or it’s built in Menu Bar option.

That’s where the new NetNewsWire Beta comes in, which seamlessly integrates with Google Reader, so you have your RSS Feeds on your Mac and online at Google.com.
