My version wasn't about using the path for something else; it was
only about providing a method that doesn't care what the iTunes
application is called. For example, if someone were to rename it
"iTunes 7.6.2", then your version would stop working.
However, as Thomas Engelmeier pointed out in a separate message,
Apple doesn't currently localize the names of its iApps so you're
probably safe.

because I do not need the path for what I am doing.

Would something like this work better? It should deal with
localization or if the user renames iTunes for some reason.
iTunesIsOpen = NO;
NSWorkspace* workspace = [NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace];
NSString* iTunesPath = [workspace
absolutePathForAppBundleWithIdentifier:@"com.apple.iTunes"];
NSArray* lApplications = [workspace launchedApplications];
int lAppsCount = [lApplications count];
int a;
for (a = 0; a < lAppsCount; a++)
{
NSDictionary* applicationD = [lApplications objectAtIndex:a];
if ([[applicationD objectForKey:@"NSApplicationPath"]
isEqualToString:iTunesPath])
{
iTunesIsOpen = YES;
break;
}
}
[iTunesLMenu setTitle: NSLocalizedString(iTunesIsOpen ? @"Quit
iTunes" : @"Launch iTunes",@"")];

How can I tell if iTunes is running with cocoa.
In this particular case, you should be able to get that
information using -[NSWorkspace launchedApplications]...
