Hi,

i have written an xmms2 client, which displays desktop notifications
using libnotify. The notfications show the title, artist, album and
cover art for the currently playing song and appear everytime a new
song starts playing.

The source code is available under http://git.xmms.se/?p=xmms2-notify.git.
It is written in Python. In addition to xmms2's python bindings you
need pygtk and pynotify (apt-get install python-notify). The module
musicbrainz2 (apt-get install python-musicbrainz2) is suggested but not
required.

To install xmms2-notify, run following commands.

git clone git://git.xmms.se/xmms2/xmms2-notify.git
cd xmms2-notify
sudo python setup.py install
ln -s /usr/local/bin/xmms2-notify ~/.config/xmms2/startup.d/xmms2-notify

Now xmms2-notify starts when xmms2d is started and quits when xmms2d
shuts down. So if xmms2d ist still running you should restart it now.

Feedback is welcome. Thanks.

Regards
Sebastian Noack
