Kurrently is an easy-to-use BASH script that displays the current artist and track on ~/.playing_now. It is a basic tool for music players to incorporate in their software.
Kurrently is a BASH script designed to provide an effortless way of outputting the currently playing artist and track to ~/.playing_now in this format: Author Name - "Track Name". It is hassle-free to modify the output and direct it to any location you prefer. This script aims to fill the gap in the market where there are several scripts that output track information to a web page, but none that simply dump it to a text file for easy parsing.
If you're wondering why you would want this functionality, the possibilities are endless. Do you use a blogging client that can read plain text files and want it to display your current playlist automatically? Perhaps you want to monitor the order of songs you've been listening to. Or maybe you want to showcase the contents of this file in a web page on a site you already have up and running. Whatever your needs are, Kurrently can accommodate them.
One of the best things about Kurrently is its open-source nature. You can make changes to the script as you see fit, thanks to the beauty of the GPL. The script is easy to understand, and you can modify it to suit your preferences to enhance the functionality further.
To use Kurrently, you'll need amaroK installed. The latest release of Kurrently includes several new features, such as HTML output that uses DIV tags, column display, and configuration editor, making it easier for users to customize their experience.
