Hi, "Clutch". (Alas, I'm old enough to know Clutch Cargo...
)
Thanks for the suggestions. We're always working to improve netTunes' responsiveness and features, and I'll add yours to the list of things to consider for future versions.
If you hover the cursor over the toolbar buttons, a tooltip will pop up with the song info. That might help you! Also, there are two sample Konfabulator widgets in the Extras directory on the DMG. One, netTunes Panel, will pop-up a translucent panel with the song information when the song changes. You might like it!
