iTunes isRunning with NSTask - boolean

Question

So I am trying to make an if based on if iTunes is running or not. I need this because my application gets the track name. This track name has already been accomplished and works but I do not want iTunes always running...
So I decided to try a NSTask with setLaunchPath instance to check if iTunes.app isRunning. The code below is self explanatory but for some reason it keeps hitting my else if when iTunes is open. I call this method in my awakeFromnib by an nstimer every 5 seconds.
-(IBAction)ifRunning:(id)pID; {
NSTask *task = [[NSTask alloc] init];
[task setLaunchPath:#"/Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS/iTunes"];
if ([task isRunning]==TRUE) {
NSLog(#"iTunes is Running, hit if");
NSString *track = ([self getCurrentTrack]);
//getCurrentTrack another one of my methods
}
else if ([task isRunning] == FALSE) {
NSLog(#"iTunes is not running, hit else if");\
[trackName setTitle:(#"iTunes is Not Playing")];
}
else {
NSLog(#"Hit else");
}
}

I figured it out using the code below. Hope this post is useful!
-(IBAction)ifRunning:(id)pID; {
NSLog(#"Process check ");
NSWorkspace *ws = [NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace];
NSArray *runningAppDictionaries = [ws launchedApplications];
NSDictionary *aDictionary;
for (aDictionary in runningAppDictionaries)
{
// NSLog(#"Open App: %#", [aDictionary valueForKey:#"NSApplicationName"]);
if ([[aDictionary valueForKey:#"NSApplicationName"] isEqualToString:#"iTunes"])
{
NSLog(#"iTunes is Is Running");
[self getCurrentTrack:nil];
break;
}
else {
NSLog(#"iTunes is not running.");
}
}
}
