Neato Mac Programs 01: Breakaway
Being a Mac user, I’m always on the lookout for useful programs. I found this one while looking for Winamp for OSX (which doesn’t exist T_T). The program is called “Breakaway”. Basically, all it does is pauses/plays iTunes when your headphones are taken out/in, like the iPod. It prevents any music from blaring out loud in the Library if you forgot to pause, and does that for you. It’s a neat program and it’s free!
There are some nitpicks, do not check the “Preserve Initial Volume Box”. This function is supposed to fade in the volume to the original iTunes volume you had when you pulled out your headphones. For some reason, it likes to fade to MAXIMUM VOLUME when you plug in your headphones. But other than that, it’s a great program that runs un-obtrusively in the background.
