apple script isn't visible Why doesn't Automator service appear in iTunes?

I'm trying to write an Automator service for iTunes so that I can immediately open a file from iTunes in VLC, so I don't have to do (show in finder, launch with other application, vlc).

I go to Automator, create a Service, in the top right hand dropdowns, I saychoose: "Service receives selected in "audio files in any application", and the script itself is just open finder items"Open Finder Items" with VLC.

However, the service doesn't appear. Not in finder, not in iTunes.. I'm very confused. Any thoughts what's going on? I tried restarting computer, restarting iTunes, all to no avail.

Thanks!
