Songs About Rainbows is an Apple OS X application that will color your files and folders using the Finder’s labels. It will ask you to locate a folder that you’d like to color the contents of. The app will relabel all the files, folders, subfolders, and subfiles within the chosen folder (see above image). So, if you use labels for organization, or you don’t want to go back and get rid of thousands of colored labels, be careful which folder you choose! I suggest your iTunes Music folder (though a large library will take some patience). This way your music collection will be exclusively composed of songs about rainbows.

By downloading the software you acknowledge that I’m a very amateur programmer and you use at your own risk. If you’d rather review the project files and build the project yourself, you can download the Songs About Rainbows source files.

Though, if you fancy Pink Floyd over Kermit the Frog, you may want to rebuild the project to suit your needs.

Okay JK,
Lovin’ this… but I need the PC version!
Really enjoy your website – you’re as creative as I always dreamed I’d be, oh well, I do own every Crayola crayon, pencil and marker they make, but they’re all in perfect unused condition. So, I need a PC version so I can apply all that color to my computer!
Are you a fellow Michigander?

  I don’t really use PC’s enough to know if Windows has colored labels or not, much less how I would go about writing a Windows application to replicate the OS X version. If someone else wants to take this on, by all means.
  
  Much like having every Craftsmen tool doesn’t make you a mechanic/carpenter/etc., having every color will not breed creativity unless you actively use them.

funny, my itunes library looks something like this (though I’d call mine a messy rainbow) because I tried to use labels once to keep track of a backup project I had going. Unfortunately, organization is not my strong point and the project failed miserably; but, at least I was able to exchange a smirk with myself over this page (before reading anything) because of it.

thank you for making me laugh at myself!

  I haven’t tried, but I’m fairly certain that I can’t birth a child.

I think your works are awesome, I glad to meet them. You’re a inspiration. Thanks. Sorry, mi inglés no es muy bueno (my English isn’t good enough).
