Fruity

What is this?

Fruity is an fresh alternative way to browse the iTunes Music Store.

By dragging any link from the iTunes Music Store into Fruity, you will have access to a continuous sample of the album. In addition to that, it will seek out all the albums that are related to the one you're listening to.

You can also copy and paste links from iTunes if you're not dextrous with your mouse.

Instructions

How to use Fruity

Happy exploring!
