I've used the menu bar application You Control Tunes, which displays a scrolling track title and provides convenient iTunes controls in the menu bar, for years. My hard drive recently crashed, and when I got everything restored from my backup this application forced me to register again as if I had just downloaded it for the first time. No problem—it remembered the free serial number I'd registered with originally, and I was good to go...
...until I discovered that the developer, You Software, seems to have bit the dust. Thus, I'm prevented from registering, and consequently from using the application.
Are there any general workarounds people know of for situations like this? I've looked into multiple alternative apps, and none of them are as simple or usable (or free) as this one, and I'd really like to be able to have it back in my life. It's simply being blocked by this stupid (free) registration rigamarole and a dead developer.
Thanks for any help you can provide!
