Question: iTunes song in the menu bar?

Is there anyway to display the currently playing song (on iTunes) on the empty space of Menu Bar at the top of the screen? (OSX)

Freeware would be best, but if I have to code something super-easy, I might be able to manage that.

How about Barquee?

There was also something called iBar, but it seems to have gone AWOL recently.

I found these by searching MacUpdate with the search term 'itunes menubar', by the way, in case that helps you find others/something else that fits your needs.

I managed to rig something up to do this using Geektool and an applescript that I can't find right now but should be Googlable (I sure as hell didn't write it myself!). It was free, but nowhere near as nice as Barquee.

It was easily googlable. This is probably where I got the script from; I used a long and fancy version from near the bottom of the thread.

You Control Tunes. Freeware. One of the many, many features allows you to scroll song info along the top menu.
