For windows users, it would be great if the download was a Zip instead of a RAR.

I’m a windows user. I much prefer rar to zip.

This plugin sounds good…I think I’ll just wait for someone else to try it first though…LOL

I’ve tried it… It works quite well.  Always on top + 40% opacity = uber-cool.

BTW… .zip is splitting into two incompatible factions, from what i’ve read… the future may lie with .rar.  I prefer it, too.

what does opacity mean?

Opacity is the transparency of the window. Whether its see-through or not

This works great! Really very good, for those who made it, and making it available so easily: Thanks! The minimize to system tray is perfect and I didn’t even know opacity was an option in windows.

Can’t afford WinRAR? Try UnRAR, it’s free.

ZIP support is built-in to XP (without downloading software).  RAR is not. 

That’s a big reason that some people might complain.

.RAR compression is pretty standard these days…ALOT of web downloads uses RAR.

If you don’t have it, just download the WinRAR free trial (use for 40 days) and use it to upack this great iTunes plug-in.  I did, and I may stick with WinRAR if I like it.

The iTunes sidekick works fantastic!!  I would not use iTunes before this came out for a few reasons and the not being able to minimize to the system tray was a big one.  Thanks for creating this, it works like a charm!

Also, for the whole rar/zip situation, I use Power Archiver, which handles all types of compression formats.  It can be found at http://www.powerarchiver.com/  Just thought I would through that in.
