Whats Playing?
January 22nd, 2006While looking for ideas and widgets to add to my website, I found a really nice iTunes extension that renders a feed of the song currently playing in iTunes in XML, and also publishes this information to my website via FTP. I’m using a free Flash ‘gizmo’ that combines the XML file (track information) with album art pulled from Amazon.com. Brandon Fuller, the author of ‘Now Playing’, has detailed instructions on his website, if you are not familiar with XML and PHP. The iTunes extension (I believe there’s one for Windows Media Player as well) is shareware (5 uploads per session), but costs only $10. Now, little brother can watch me too 
The display shows up in the sidebar on my homepage.
