Twunes 2.2.0 - Send a tweet of your current iTunes track, title, and artist. (Free)

Twunes... So you’re a Twitter AND a music addict? Ever wanted to know what your (“I’m a Mac”) Twitter buddies are listening to on iTunes? Always looking for musical inspiration to widen your musical horizon?

Well, good news: here’s Twunes, my free Mac OS X application that tweets the current iTunes track’s title, artist & optional album that you’re listening to.

Key features include:

• You can hashtag the artist name so that it’s clickable in Twitter clients and you can find other people tweeting about the artist you’re listening to.
• You can add the hashtag #nowplaying.
• You can add the hashtag #fb to crosspost your tweet to Facebook, too!
• You can add an iTunes Music Store (iTMS) link for your song – if it’s available. Twunes tries to find a match.
• The cover art of the currently playing song is shown if possible.
• You can choose whether to include the album name or not.
• As a convenience you can remotely control three key iTunes functions: play, pause and next track.
• Your Twitter credentials are stored safely in Mac OS X’s Keychain.
• Twunes can optionally stay on top of all other windows.

WHAT'S NEW

Version2.2.0:

• OAuth/xAuth support
• Twitter shut off the former and unsecure basic authentication method as off 2010-09-01. Instead, Twitter clients (like Twunes) have to use the much more secure OAuth method which is now implemented internally in Twunes starting with this version 2.2.0.
• Unfortunately, Twunes currently cannot be a 64 bit application for some technical reason. But that shouldn\'t be a problem at all in your daily use.
• I finally found and fixed the annoying bug that caused to crash Twunes when you wanted to quit it by clicking on the red close button (ball) in the upper left corner of the Window.
