Show Current iTunes Track In Menu Bar

After searching for an iTunes menu bar application which displays current track information, I didn't find an application which was as basic as I prefered, showing song title also artist name, not showing anything else. Due to this I decided to create a simple application which does this, thanks to help from some online articles/tutorials and information.

This is a simple iTunes menu bar application which displays current track (song - artist) playing in iTunes in menu bar.

I added this application to login items.

I hadn't found a decent place to upload, also give people access to this application, which caused me to decide to make this post.

I launched it after iTunes was already running and a track was playing, so I think that your reply addresses why it didn't work as I expected. A quick ping on launch to see if something is already playing and report back wouldn't seem to be terribly CPU-intensive and would be (IMHO) more user-friendly, but totally up to you. When I used it the way I described, I thought it wasn't working and so it didn't make a good first impression, so I thought I'd mention it. 🙂
