Projects » Audacious Announcer
Audacious Announcer is a complete rewrite of XMMS Announcer: a simple utility that prints the current track playing in Audacious (and even XMMS). It has optional command line arguments that allow for more detailed information about the track, along with the ability to copy the track data to the clipboard (requires xclip). The unique feature is that it allows for an easily customizable output string, which is done by using the -f switch on the command line.
