iTunes Shortcut is a Widgets software developed by Victor saponari. After our trial and test, the software is proved to be official, secure and free. Here is the official description for iTunes Shortcut:

Marydown Editor: This Widget is a set of hotkeys for iTunes. Hotkeys are available for next song, previous song, play, pause, and volume up/down. When you press a HotKey, a notification window pops up with the track title, artist, and album.

It's a great Widget that enables you to have control of iTunes while it is minimized in your system tray. No need for the iTunes Mini player; this Widget has a tiny icon in the top left corner of the screen, and that's it!
