iTunes Helper App

I use iTunes. A lot. It's great. Except when you have a laptop and a lot of music. I have an external hard drive at work and one at home. The problem is that iTunes doesn't handle two different hard drives very well. So I wrote a small application that lets you back up your libraries (the configuration, not the music) and swap them out when you switch locations. It also provides a launcher, so that when you start iTunes, it will check to see which hard drive is connected and automatically switch to that library. It was written using Objective-C. Sure, the interface isn't the best, but it works great and it wasn't intended for anyone to use aside from me. itunes-helper-app.png
