Breakaway: Automatically pause your music when headphones are unplugged

Breakaway is the kind of tool that begs the question, "why didn't anyone think of this before?"

Simply stated, Breakaway will automatically pause your iTunes music anytime your headphones are unplugged.

We can see this as useful in two ways:

One, you won't have to suffer any more embarrassment when your headphones come unplugged and everyone becomes privy to the Rocky 3 soundtrack (we don't know about you, but "Eye of the Tiger" really gets our creative juices flowing).

Two, well, hmm...

Okay, so Breakaway is a one-trick pony. But it's a handy trick.

Breakaway is a free download, and requires Mac OS X.
