MusicTracker is a plugin for Pidgin (previously known as Gaim) which displays the music track currently playing in the status message of various accounts such as AIM, Yahoo, MSN, Gtalk (Jabber), etc., i.e. any protocol Pidgin supports custom statuses on. Support for a wide range of audio players on both Windows and Linux platforms is planned. Currently supported players: Amarok, Rhythmbox, Audacious, XMMS, MPC/MPD, Exaile, Banshee, Quod Libet on Linux. Winamp, Windows Media Player (9+), iTunes, Foobar2000 (incomplete support) on Windows.

Features

Changes in version 0.4.1

Requirements

(Note for XMMS/Audacious: Song title needs to be formatted as '%p | %a | %t' in player Preferences. Delimiter choice '|' can be changed in musictracker settings.)

Remarks

Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2 or higher. MusicTracker was originally started as a fork of Gaim-CurrentTrack (presently known as Pidgin-CurrentTrack) to support media players on Linux, and thus has portions of code adopted from that project. It is not affiliated with Google in any way.
