Shuffle smartly and stay in control with Altunenator.
Altunenator ensures that when you’re playing media in iTunes, you don’t hear the same tracks over and over again, day after day. Altunenator can automatically, and dynamically, adjust its skip threshold based on the total run time of the playlist you’re listening to - whether you’ve got a month’s worth of music in each of your playlists, or just a few hours.
Altunenator also gives you a whole new way to control and interact with your media using system-wide keyboard shortcuts that you define. Never let wanting to rate, skip, or add a track to a playlist be a chore again. Forget about having to navigate through iTunes to find the current track and drag it to a playlist or click on its rating stars.
Built with OS X Yosemite in mind, Altunenator looks and runs great in Apple's latest OS. Altunenator fully supports Dark Mode, for those who like stay as distraction-free as possible.
