im sure many of you have seen some signatures of aqua soft members that show their current playing song in iTunes as in image...
i did some investigating as to how it was done, and i found some shareware you can get to do it... but then i thought, hey i can do it for free... so i did
its in the early stages of development, but it definately works!
check it out: http://ion1design.com/iTunes/songInfo.php
and http://ion1design.com/iTunes/songInfo.php?type=1
its a combination of a vb.net program and a php script.
the vb.net program:
can either monitor the file created by MPlugin for iTunes, or use the iTunes API to get info about the current track, save it to a file, and upload it to a designated ftp server. as well as the album art (eventually)
the php script:
takes the info uploaded, and a background image that you can customize, and write the song into to the image! and it even tells you the last time the file was uploaded.
cool, huh?
when i get the vb.net app customizable so you can specify an ftp server and such, ill release it. just a heads up and a prompt to suggest improvements.
