What is VirbTunes?
VirbTunes is a software plugin for iTunes that tracks your song plays and sends the data to Virb.com. By sending this iTunes data to Virb, you are able to display your Recent Songs, Top Artists, Top Songs and Top Albums in your Virb profile. We'll also be using the data to help you find your favorite artists on Virb.com, let you know when they are playing nearby, recommend new music based on your tastes, and more.
Download for Mac OS X 10.3 or later or Download for Windows 2000 or XP
