For testing your scripting abilities you can make a simple output plugin,
which just wraps around "send_tag" function. This is used by output_thread
to send tags to http or shout output plugin to send a metadata tag.
I
'm not absolutely sure, but there should be at least Artist and Album name
and maybe we could enhance the api so full file path will be sent as well (i
can imagine different uses as well - for example plugin which will "say"
song name and Artist using text-to-speech, or a plugin which using LDC4linux
outputs those interesting data to a display connected ;) - but i know, its
better to be done with mpd client - haven't checked but i think there is
already one) .
Just a simple thought, hope it helped
