| It may not seem as easy as it actually is, that's why I decided to share it. Here it is a bash script that once executed updates pidgin's status with the name of the track running Rhythmbox music player |   |
#!/bin/bash
while [ 1 ]
do
out=$( rhythmbox-client --no-start --print-playing)
#echo "I'm now listening to $out"
echo `/usr/bin/purple-remote "setstatus?status=available&message=Listening to $out"`
sleep 5
done
