macOS Getting an open-source project off the ground

Think about putting your project out on Sourceforge, so if someone that is interested in contributing to an open souce project does a search, yours will be available for them to peruse.
I was trying to get your source code, but I can't seem do download it. It seems like you updated it today. Either you are updating it right now, or there was some error. Just letting you know.

Main reasons are:
1) iTunes skins are very limiting - for example, it's impossible for an iTunes skin to have a color background - iTunes always makes it grayscale.
2) A lot of themers don't have time/don't want to make iTunes skins, leaving the system look inconsistent. With skiTunes, the only buttons needed to skin are the Play, Pause, rewind, fast forward, and browse buttons - the rest automatically matches the theme's brushed metal look.
That, and although iTunes is good, it's a bit clunky feeling, and it still uses code from Mac OS 9's Soundjam MP. Another thing is a lot of Windows switchers miss being able to play their WMA files - skiTunes will come to the rescue. Also, skiTunes will allow iPod to computer transfers, and for those who need it, multiple iPod management.
lol, there's tons of other things I plan to add, but I won't list them all here cuz I'm lazy
Besides, the way I see it, Apple needs a little competition
