Best iTunes Growl notification

[AnthroAndStargate]

I want to be able to see what song is playign each time a track changes via Growl.

I used to do this with Quicksilver but no longer do it anymore, i was wondering if anyone can tell me of a diff program. I dont like GrowlTunes because it puts a little thing in your menu bar that you cant remove, I also dont need stop pause etc. buttons cause those are built on my new mac keyboard. is there no program that just sends what itunes song is playing to growl?

iScrobbler does it, but it also is a Last.fm client as well. Totally rocks.

That being said, it does use a menu bar icon rather than a dock icon, but its pretty tiny.

How much RAM does CoverSutra use? I installed iScrobbler and my god, this app is using like 30 MB of RAM and over 3.5 GB of Virtual Memory! Is that normal?

Coversutra is using 10 MB of RAM and 1 GB of Virtual Memory, which is fairly typical from most OS X apps that I've been using.

I'm fine with growltunes. Works great.

Is there a way to make the GrowlTunes icon on the menu bar go away? And also how much RAM does GrowlTunes use?

iScrobble is cool cause it reports to Last.FM but my god why does it use so much RAM?

 

[sourceninja]

I don't think there is a way to remove the menu item. I'll check when I get home and post back.

I dunno if it matters, but it seems to be the only 64-bit app running on my computer. Dunno if that would make the ram req high, but I have 4gb so 30mb won't kill me.

I also found this post in regards to the high VM numbers with iScrobbler - http://forums.appleinsider.com...&p=1189565&postcount=7
