You don't need a Sony Ericsson phone to have fun with iTunes and the Sony Ericsson Clicker. Here's a tip I posted at my iTunes AppleScripting site from Mike Samuels that lets you display the name of the currently playing iTunes track across your screen (like in the screenshot located here).
First, download and install the Sony Ericsson Clicker. Next, copy and paste the following script to Script Editor, and save as an application, with "Stay Open" checked:
global latest_song
property okflag : false
on run
set okflag to false
tell application "Finder"
if (get name of every process) contains "iTunes" then set okflag to true
end tell
if okflag then
set latest_song to ""
else
quit
end if
end run
on idle
tell application "iTunes"
copy name of current track to current_tracks_name
if current_tracks_name is not latest_song then
copy current_tracks_name to latest_song
tell application "SEC Helper"
show screen message current_tracks_name duration 6
end tell
end if
return 10
end tell
end idle
Run the script, which will stay running in the background until you Quit it from its File Menu. Everytime a song starts playing in iTunes, a banner will be displayed across your screen with the track name.
