iTunes Rating (Mac freeware)
Incredibly handy menubar tool that shows the rating of the song that is currently playing on your iTunes. If there is no rating, you can easily select the rating directly on the menubar. It then sends the rating to iTunes. This is very nice and I like what the developer exclaimed about the reason for its creation, "Because I bloody couldn't find it anywhere else." by Matt Handley *Please send him a donation*
