I did say that once I had my iTunes "Currently playing" feature working I'd post up how I got it working... and well, here it is.

It's all set up using RecentTunes and some PHP.

Download "RecentTunes" from Freshly Squeezed Software.

You...

  $bg[0] = '<tr valign="top" class="even">';

  $bg[1] = '<tr valign="top" class="odd">';

  $i=0;

  $last_track_name = "";

  include('http://nslog.com/tracklist.inc');

  foreach($tracklist as $date => $track_data)

  {

    extract($track_data);

    $thisSong = "$artist$title$album$year$genre";

    if($last_track_name != "$artist$title$album$year$genre" && FALSE == strstr($thisSong, '^'))

    {

      echo $bg[($i++)%2];

      $string = "<a href=\"itms://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa//advancedSearchResults?artistTerm=$artist\">$artist</a></td><td><a href=\"itms://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa//advancedSearchResults?songTerm=$title\">$title</a></td><td><a href=\"itms://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa//advancedSearchResults?artistTerm=$artist&albumTerm=$album\">$album</a> ($year)</td><td>$genre";

      echo "<td>$string</td>";

      echo "</tr>";

      $last_track_name = "$artist$title$album$year$genre";

    }

  }

?>

I've got this set up, using the same PHP/Array output as Erik uses here:

http://nslog.com/tracklist.inc

However, when I try using the PHP code above to parse the file in the table, it doesn't seem to do anything.

The code is around a year old, so maybe you've updated it and that's why it isn't working? Could you post up the source file you're using now? If different to that of above?

I've added a recent tracks page, and you can now also see what I am currently listening to. This is powered by Apple's iTunes and Kung-Tunes. Thanks to Erik for providing me with my PHP code....

<?

   $bg[0] = '<tr valign="top" class="even">';

   $bg[1] = '<tr valign="top" class="odd">';

   $i=0;

   $last_track_name = "";

   include('http://nslog.com/tracklist.inc');

       echo "<td><a href=\"http://www.google.com/search?q=%22$artist%22\" target=\"_blank\">$artist</a></td><td>$title</td><td>$album ($year)</td><td>$genre</td>";

       echo "</tr>";

       $last_track_name = "$artist$title$album$year$genre";

A lot of people seem to be quite taken with the idea of using their blog to show what music they're currently listening to (often in iTunes). For the record, I'm currently listening to Liebling by Andreas Johnson (specifically "Glorious", o...
