The Current Track plugin for Pidgin (Formerly Gaim) (Win32/Linux) displays the current track gathered from iTunes, Winamp, Windows Media Player, RealPlayer, foobar2000, Musicmatch Jukebox, MediaMonkey, XMPlay , Yahoo! Jukebox, Amarok, Rhythmbox, XMMS, or from a file in your Available message or Away Message (download 11/03/2009). It will also append the current track to your user info, and can set your buddy icon based on the iTunes, MediaMonkey, or Amarok album art or query amazon.com for the album art. (Here is a great automatic album art importer.). You can type "/track" anywhere in a conversation and Currenttrack will replace it with the track title.
Requires Pidgin 2.0.0 or higher.
