This is a mix of two of the other "current iTunes song" geeklets on this site, however, neither of them were perfect. One worked rather well but ALWAYS kept iTunes open, and the other was didn't work.

This geeklet prints like so: "Posters - Jack Johnson (Brushfire Fairytales) | paused at 17%"

Anyways, download both files here, put the script file in a directory such that:

/Users/**PUT YOUR ACCOUNT NAME HERE**/Documents/Scripts/CurrentSong.scpt

otherwise you'll just have to change the currentsong.glet to:

echo "iTunes"
osascript **put the directory to whereever you saved the script file**

either way works.

Additions I have made are:

If iTunes is closed, geeklet says it's closed.
If iTunes is paused, geeklet says it's paused.

Enjoy

Geeklet file(s) to download

currentsong.glet
CurrentSong.scpt.glet

Either right-click and choose "Save Linked File As..." or hold the Option key and click to download files.
If using Safari, you may have to rename the files without the extra .txt extension that is added.

Was the bet until 2 days ago... When iTunes got updated to 9.2.. now it just says iTunes and thats it.

Please fix it as soon as you can. Really great script.

I'll try to think of checking back here, but if you can hit me up on my twitter, that would be perfect.
