Hi AMIPland,
I've been hunting around for a way to display the current song/artist from iTunes as the screensaver on my system. I have a dedicated geek/media pc that I use as my stereo. I'm sure AMIP has all that I need to get this accomplished but I can't seem to connect the dots. Can anyone steer me in the right direction? I've been trying to figure out how to make my own screensaver but every search turns up something like 'Display your son's picture with "sweet child of mine" in the background! it's easy!' - not really what I'm looking for. I'm sure there something out there that will just dump the clipboard to the screen at intervals but dang if I can find it. I can do a little hacking so, if I need to, I'm down but I just don't know where to start. I keep thinking of stupid complicated hacks like running LAMP on this box and using php but that's just getting corny. Perhaps just a couple of decent links to roll my own screensaver? Thanks for any help! Will |

Some screensaver that reads text from file and shows it may do the trick. Configure AMIP to dump song info to file and configure the screensaver to monitor the file and display the text.
