divinatum Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 i switched over to osx from windows, and on the IM client i used for aim my favorite feature was being able to type /music and it shows the song that Winamp was playing. Is there something similar in OSX for iChat?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know GAIM shows it, and miranda does if you do a get info on somebody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know GAIM shows it, and miranda does if you do a get info on somebody. o. well that's just plain stupid. anyway, i whipped up a little applescript for you, that copies the artist and song to the clipboard and then quits. toss it in the dock (if you use it a lot), or leave it on the desktop, or if you use the script menu, toss it in there. after it runs, just paste the info in. it wipes out your clipboard contents, though... i don't know enough applescript to just send it to someone :blush: sorry enjoy: Set_Clipboard_to_Current_Song.app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureEdit Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 o. well that's just plain stupid. Yep, but AIM is one of the crappiest apps ever, so what do you expect? The AIM 5.5 audio/video features are a complete joke compared to iChat AV too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bling3k12 Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Check out Adium... it'll let you type in /music and will grab what's playing from iTunes, plus I'd like it alot better than iChat, if only direct connect and file transfer worked correctly. http://www.adiumx.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NETknightX Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 You could use try this little applet: Current Song to Current Chat v1.6 This is an applet that runs in the background, until you activate it, at which point it sends info about the currently playing iTunes track to the frontmost message window in iChat. http://www.malcolmadams.com/itunes/scripts...urrentsongichat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
