iTunes in toolbar?

i dont care for how much space the iTunes windows takes up when in its smaller version, as now that my dock has grown, they are overlapping.

is there any way (3rd party software, maybe?) to put itunes info in the toolbar? or is there another way to do this i am missing?

not actual iTunes but some of the functions like play, pause, stop, next ect...

ByteController is small, free and supports Growl notifications for your song info.
