\nIf you have made the upgrade to Mountain Lion, like me, you are most likely loving the new notification centre.<\/p>\n

With a whole range of apps and websites beginning to support it, the notification centre is set to become extremely useful in our day-to-day lives.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a>Why not allow iTunes to integrate with it then?<\/p>\n

Well you can. Simply go ahead and download<\/a> the new app called NowPlaying for free.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a>
\nAdd it to your Applications folder to install.<\/p>\n

Once you’ve got it running, a new pop-out will appear in the notification centre  at every track change in iTunes.<\/p>\n

<\/a>The notification centre only picks up the integration while the app is running, so best you add it to your login items on your user account.<\/p>\n

Hopefully the app’s developer, Ben Hegarty, will host the app on a better download server soon. I will update the article when it if\/when it happens.<\/p>\n

I know you will enjoy!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
