This isn’t the first time Skip Tunes has made an appearance here on Beautiful Pixels. Lukas had talked about the first version of the app back in February this year and it had impressed him, with him noting that “[everything in the app is] is minimalist and very polished.” Yesterday, Skip Tunes was updated to version 2.0 that introduced an complete UI overhaul and added some nifty features that were missing in the previous version. The UI has been redone and bears a striking resemblance to the ‘Now Playing’ window of iTunes. Album Artwork gets prime real-estate in the new…
