# iTunes

The "iTunes" source displays information about the track currently playing in iTunes.

To open the "iTunes" preferences, follow these steps:

1. Open Universal Ticker.
2. Choose "Universal Ticker" > "Preferences".
3. In the "Sources" category choose "iTunes".

# Display Configuration

To change the format that is used to display track information, drag the desired elements from the lower list into the upper input field. You may also enter static text, like punctuation.

You can check the result in the preview field.

By default, the text will be preceeded by a symbol for the source (usually the iTunes icon). Uncheck "Show Source Icon" to hide it.

Track information will be continuously displayed as long as a song is playing. It is interrupted by other sources as necessary.

# Contextual Menus

Clicking the title information in the ticker will present a rating menu.

Hold down the control key (or use the secondary mouse button) while clicking to skip to the next song or pause playback.
