Krix is a flashy way to browse, organize and play your music. It relies on album art to visually represent all the albums you've got in your digital collection, and it supports the Apple Remote. We don't think Krix is quite ready for the bigtime yet, though. It has a couple of drawbacks, including its reliance on iTunes for playing music (the controls you see at the top of the Krix window are just an iTunes remote) and the need to create a tiny .krix file for each song, so it knows how to organize and display it. The obvious plus of Krix is that it has big, bright playlist buttons, and features several ways to sort your albums. Although the newest version requires OS X 1.05, Krix was started before Leopard and Coverflow. It still looks nice, but since Krix needs iTunes anyway, and Coverflow does a decent job of displaying album art on its own, we'll pass on this app for now.
