You ever wanted the ability to manipulate iTunes but remain in another app while doing? I did all the time. Mainly I wanted that ability when I listened to a podcast and I wanted to pause while I took notes in TextEdit or something similar. I’ve found the solution with SizzlingKeys. To quote their web site:

Have you ever wished you could control iTunes without leaving your current app? SizzlingKeys lets you do just that – and more – in an intuitive and unobtrusive way.

Control iTunes. Whether it’s to pause the player, adjust the volume, skip a track or rate a song, you can do all that and more with simple customizable keystrokes. That’s not all. You can even search your iTunes Library or Playlists with a simple keystroke, all without switching to iTunes!

Exactly. It’s DEFINITELY worth a look!
