Twitter tweets
Added by Jeff Allison about 3 years ago
Searched and can't find what I'm looking for. Winamp (WACUP) has a function that posts a tweet sharing what I am listening to. If there such a function for Audacious, and if not, would anyone have an idea as to how I might make such a thing? Thanks in advance.

An old school implementation would be a script that runs "audtool current-song" and passes it to your favorite twitter command-line interface whenever there is a change. With some safety measures, of course, as to avoid a flood of tweets for example.

Just in case anyone is in the least interested, here is a shell script to pass what's playing on Audacious to oysttyer and share on Twitter. Also gives a desktop notification. I use a desktop launcher at the moment, but may do a cron in the future.
#!/bin/sh
- variable declarations and settings
check=$(audtool --playback-status)
MySong=$(audtool --current-song-tuple-data title);
MyAlbum=$(audtool --current-song-tuple-data album);
#Check if Audacious is running
if [ ${check} == "playing" ];
then
Post="Groovin' to '"${MySong}"' from '"${MyAlbum}"'"
echo ${Post} | oysttyer status=
MESSAGE="${Post} Tweeted"
else
echo ${check} "Nothing Playing"
MESSAGE="${check} - Nothing Tweeted"
fi
notify-send -u critical -i face-smile "$MESSAGE"

Oops, didn't need the == in the "if" statement.
