Here are some screen shots of
j•Clip V2.0 in action:
Go to your favorite radio station or
playlist in iTunes; when you hear something you like, right-click anywhere in the
j•Clip window. Behind the
scenes, a search string based on the artist & track is automatically created.
Follow the Web menu
for these options: go straight to the
iTunes Music Store to purchase the track; or click any of the
website links and
j•Clip will launch the browser and take you
straight to the website with the search fully
populated. At the end of the list is a direct link to the
radio station. Search results based on radio stations may vary
depending on how much information the radio station caries, but most
stations are pretty good about providing the artist & track:
Search Sites allow you to adjust the target websites you can access.
Search Keywords allow you to automatically include special keywords
in your search string.
When you elect to Save Searches, you'll be able to retrieve past
searches. What
is also nice about this feature is the ability save a current track that you may
not have time to browse now, but want to browse later on. So all you need to do
is right-click on the j•Clip window then forget about it until later.
Click the 's' button (upper-right of the j•Clip window) to reveal your saved searches window.
Right-clicking on the main j•Clip
window automatically saves the current artist and track as a new
saved search entry. This new search is automatically added
to the end of the list and selected for you.
Scroll through the saved searches list; you can select any past search then go to the web.
The saved searches context menu allows you to manage your search
entries. For example, you can edit an existing search by
selecting 'Edit entry...'
You can easily integrate web links with your saved search entries
for instant recall later.
First, browse to a site containing
an interesting link, say a video link to a YouTube video.
Right-click on the entry, then select 'Copy Shortcut'.
Then select
the saved searches entry you would like to add the link to by
right-clicking the entry and selecting
'Add web link to entry...' from the context
menu. A window appears confirming the
new association; simply click OK.
Now, anytime you click an entry in your saved searches that contains
a YouTube video link and you've checked 'Use j•Clip
Video Player to view YouTube video links' box, you will
automatically see your video in the j•Clip
video player.
In the Appearance
options you can change color;
also, adjust the opacity using the scroll-wheel.
Change the exterior look.
There's easy access to the next or previous track or radio station.
You can grab and drag j•Clip anywhere on the screen; resize it too.
Double-click and it restores to the track window location.
Works great in mini-player mode too.
Check for updates and future releases, automatically.
