Checking to see if the iTunes menu bar contains "Downloads"

I currently have this script going to check and see if the iTunes left menu bar thing contains “Downloads” However, it only works is the window is set to “visible” and I was wondering if there was any way to do this with the window not having to be up.


tell application "iTunes"
		set visible of window "iTunes" to true
	end tell
	tell application "System Events"
		tell process "iTunes"
			tell rows of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of splitter group 1 of splitter group 1 of window 1
				set DPresent to ((name of static text 1) as Unicode text)
				if DPresent contains "Downloads" then
					set DownloadsTrue to true
				else if DPresent contains "STORE" then
					set DownloadsTrue to false
				end if
			end tell
		end tell
	end tell

Moving to OS X…

The other way ist to watch the folder(s) where the podcasts will be saved in and
check when the size of new added items stops to increase
