Playing song info into text file

[richo67]

Hello,

I was wondering if there is any way in audacious (and its plugins) to write playing song's information into a text file?
What I mean is artist, song's title and possibly album to be written in the text file.

Thank you

You could quite easily base something on the "General > Song Change" plugin. Enable it, click on its tools icon to learn more about it.

Thank you for the tip. I was playing with it and trying to create some .bat file to run, but so far no success. I will try and will post something here once I succeed.

It seems to work even with a very simple one-liner directly within the plugin settings.

In the field "Command to run when starting a new song", I've added:

echo "%a - %T - %b" >> ~/TEST

Instead of echo you should be able to run your own shell script, command, whatever.
