Features

Searching for albums is painless. newTunes allows you to start, pause, cancel, and resume searches with ease. A progress bar shows the status of the current search. As albums are found, they are immediately added to the list so you can start browsing even before the search is done.

newTunes 2.0 now has a fully configurable window. Collapse it when you are not using it or waiting for searches to finish. When browsing albums, stretch newTunes as big as you need and then shrink it again when you are done. newTunes will never get in the way of your other widgets!

Refresh your artist list directly from iTunes at any time. Checkboxes allow you to decide which artists you want to be included in the search for more specific searching. Select/deselect all options allow you to effectively manage even thousands of artists to easily customize your searches.

Albums have never been easier to manage. Sort new albums by artist or by release date; ascending or descending. In newTunes 2.0 your albums stay between searches and new albums appear with a red border so you can easily spot them from those you have seen before. If you want to start fresh, simply hit the clear button and the list is emptied.

Each individual album has several options. You can permanently remove albums you never want to see again or just clear them for the time being. With one click you are at the album's page on Amazon.com to buy or pre-order your new music. If you don't want to buy the album right now but don't want it to get lost, move it to the wish list as a reminder for later.

The backside of newTunes allows you to completely customize its behavior. Specify how many days old is too old for albums to be displayed. You can allow newTunes to continue searching when you return to your desktop or you can save resources and have it automatically pause when it is hidden. When you start your search you can have newTunes automatically purge any items older than you consider new. newTunes 2.0 now has automatic update checks that you can enable or disable and check manually.
