# Iridium & SmoothTunes (End of Life)

## [Iridium & SmoothTunes (End of Life)](https://stevenjaycohen.com/journal/iridium-smoothtunes-end-of-life)

    23rd Feb 2006   [design](https://stevenjaycohen.com/tag:design#body-wrapper) [iridium](https://stevenjaycohen.com/tag:iridium#body-wrapper) [software](https://stevenjaycohen.com/tag:software#body-wrapper)  

[Iridium](https://code.google.com/p/stevenjaycohen/downloads/list) is compatible with Mac OS X 10.4.5 and [IridiumTunes](https://code.google.com/p/stevenjaycohen/downloads/list) was last updated for iTunes 6.0.2.

I have been thinking about this for a while now. And, it appears that the advent of the new iTunes look (which began in iTunes v5.0) has gotten many application developers to bundle their own iTunes-like skins internally.

While I applaud the desire to update the look and feel of these applications, the fact that they are bundling their own skins, means that they are **NOT** skinned by Iridium. The point of Iridium was to provide 1 universal look to all applications. This new trend in the mac community makes that not possible. I will be updating the downloads to include this End of Life notice.

The downloads will remain available, but I will no longer offer support for either product.
