Hmm, I don't know if there is any way to do this directly. What you can do is launch iTunes and then hide it:
----
tell application "iTunes"
launch
end tell

tell application "System Events"
set visible of application process "iTunes" to false
end tell
----

This will cause the iTunes window to appear behind the current window and then it iTunes will hide, leaving iTunes as faceless as possible.

I am trying to script iTunes without any iTunes windows opening, in a sense
using iTunes as a faceless background application. My understanding is:

tell application "iTunes" to launch

will accomplish this. However, iTunes is opening the playlist window as
window #2 on "launch", just below whatever window I have in front. Is there
a way to explicitly force iTunes to not open any windows, but at the same
time ensure that it is running?
