App to control iTunes Radio from menubar?

[shinji]

Are there any menubar apps available that let you control iTunes Radio from the menubar, like with a pause/next feature and a dropdown that lets you choose any of your stored stations?

There used to be a lot of these for controlling songs you have in your library, but none I could find support iTunes Radio.

You can still put streaming stations into playlists. Right click is not reliable with streams for me, so I drag their names into the proper playlist in the left sidebar.
Once you have them in a playlist, the streams act much like normal tracks. Forward and back buttons'll move you between streams.

I put a couple Internet audio streams in a playlist called "Bugs", and these Applescripts work with them just fine:

tell application "iTunes"
	play playlist "Bugs"
end tell

tell application "iTunes"
	set z to name of every track of playlist "Bugs" --internet audio streams
end tell
return z

If you can find a menubar controller for playlists, it should work for playlists containing streams as well.

It's not letting me move an iTunes Radio station into a playlist. I guess you can do it with regular shoutcast-type stations?

I tried to move an iTunes Radio station into a playlist without success, but the older "Internet" type radio stations can be put into playlists.
I guess that's the price of progress.
