This update fixes a major bug where NowPlaying may crash when user opens and quits iTunes frequently.
Internally, the program now uses AppleScript directly instead of Scripting Bridge for better compatibility. Also there’s optimization on the pulling of player and track info to make it more efficient.
NowPlaying Mac displays the current playing track (name/artist/duration/artwork) in the menu bar. Just that simple, no funny business.
NowPlaying integrates itself into the menu bar, taking no desktop space, no dock icons.

All options are available through a simple menu.

The tool is free and the Obj-C (Cocoa) source code is available under BSD license. I used free icon from http://www.icondrawer.com/
