Synergy
Synergy is a tiny Cocoa application for Mac OS X 10.2 (and later) that puts three buttons to control iTunes in your menubar: previous track, next track, and play/pause; as well as providing you with visual feedback about the currently playing tune. Synergy can even automatically download and display the cover of the currently playing album. The Synergy controls, together with the ability to control iTunes via system-wide hot Key combinations, mean that Synergy provides the fastest way of skipping between songs when using the keyboard or the mouse; all this without having to switch to iTunes, or access its Dock menu.
Synergy won't take up precious space in your Dock as it appears only in the menubar. It provides you with ultimate control over iTunes even while you're working in other applications. The Synergy global menu provides you with quick access to recently played tracks and playlists, and the floater displays album covers and provides information whenever a new track starts playing.

One of my FAVORITE utilities, up until Leopard... but the 3.5 dev versions are an unmitigated disaster.
Developer: ditch the new design, and just get the old version functioning in Leopard, while you still have a customer base left.
A wonderful little app, well worth the cheap registration cost. As un-obtrusive as you want it to be. The plethora of skins for the menu-bar buttons is also a definite plus.
Great app. I only really use the hotkeys and last.fm integration, but listening to iTunes at work wouldn't be the same without it.
yeah. tried it today, and scrobbling still doesen't work. any suggestions?
apparently the server has been down today... the first day i try to scrobble with it lol
Is anyone else having scrobbling issues with this?
Bought and using this after I saw the podcast of it on macbreak.
iController for me (a freeware app).
One of the few that displays the track info in the menu bar (customizable) along with the usual hot keys features.
I recommend ByteController because its free.

I use GimmeSomeTune, and it just rocks my world, with it's automatic cover fetching and a lot of features!
