came across this today, and quickly purchased it. it's called synergy, and basically its a menu interface for your iTunes, but in reality it is so much more.

With it, "you can control iTunes via three buttons in your menubar: previous track, next track, and play/pause; as well as providing you with visual feedback about the currently playing tune. Synergy can even automatically download and display the cover of the currently playing album. The Synergy controls, together with the ability to control iTunes via system-wide Hot Key combinations, mean that Synergy provides the fastest way of skipping between songs when using the keyboard or the mouse; all this without having to switch to iTunes, or access its Dock menu."

For only $5 it's an incredible steal.
