Google Desktop Gadget (Coming Soon!)

Here is a sneak peek at an upcoming Google Desktop Gadget for MP3tunes! Now you can listen to your MP3tunes Locker right from your desktop with this great little gadget.

If you haven't used Google Desktop before .... it's a program that gives you easy access to information on your local machine and from the web. Google Desktop makes searching your own email, files, music, and photos as easy as searching the web with Google. Anyone can download it for free. There are versions for all platforms (Mac, Windows, and Linux).

The developers have already submitted the MP3tunes Gadget to Google. And, as soon as they add it to the Gadget web site, we'll post a link. Here are a few more screenshots:
