Status.png

I remember reading these forums when I first set up my Shoutcast stream and someone had linked to a pretty cool little script dealio that displayed the current song using a status.png image. There was a few files involved, but the status.png image updated at each song change. I also remember a few people using it for their signatures.

Since my big server crash of '04 I lost those files and can't seem to dig them up again.

Anyone have a link to that or a similar simple "Now Playing" script. I just want to display the current song in a small area at the top of my page. (Something besides Radio Toolbox. I'm hoping for something that can run on the server itself.)

Thanks in advance...

Yes, thank you...I looked through that a few times but I couldn't find this particular status application.

Again, I don't want some huge deal here with lots of configuration, it was just a simple script that generated a .png file.

I'll keep lookin...thanks.

If you want something really simple, I suggest roffdawg's script.

If you want one that shows what you're playing in WinAmp (instead of extracting the information from the server), check out www.gerpok.com

Yeah, ruffdawg's script was it. Not sure if it was the original thing, but yeah...that did the trick. Thanks!
