Sophiestication Software’s CoverSutra (http://www.sophiestication.com/coversutra/), an iTunes extender for Mac OS X has been updated to version 3.3. The new version offers better resource management.

CoverSutra lets you control iTunes without having to leave the currently active application. The software does this through the use of global keyboard shortcuts, information bezels and a transparent floating window. In addition, CoverSutra has integrated support for Last.fm, a social music recommendation service.

CoverSutra 3.3 requires Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later and iTunes 9 or higher. It can be purchased for US$4.99 at the Mac App Store.
