it's been a long time since i've done this; can anyone recommend a simple app to display the currently-playing song in the menubar? i need to be able to change the font color (my menubar is black)...

thanx!

QuickTunes

I have trouble getting to it start-up on log in, but other than, simple and works.

Edit: Not sure you'll be able to change the font color...

perfect! thanks (& i can change the font color). i also found "tunebuddy", but the font is a little jagged..

edit:have u tried dragging the application icon into "login items" in Accounts (in System Preferences)? i had to do that, the preference in quicktunes didn't do that for me...)

last post about this (promise)...

i can find the text "Track paused' and "No Track" in the application contents (in Mac OS>Quicktunes); it opens in Terminal (which i don't know). i opened it in TextWrangler, replaced that text with spaces, but...how can i save from there as a Terminal app?

i'm probably asking the wrong questions. anyone know a site where i can get help with this? thanx!~
