Now Playing to Twitter

Hi,

As a new user/tester of your great program. I am wondering if there will be a feature implemented, to send updates to twitter on the current song playing, for those of us running radio stations?
I currently use this feature as a .pal script within SAM and think it would be a great addition to PF.

Thanks a lot. :P

I am not sure about the Twitter update API....but there are several ways to update a 'remote' site, incl. TCP, and HTTP Get or POST request...so I guess it is quite easy to implement a Twitter update yourself...however, I haven't looked at it so far.

Or just push your current songtitles to a txt-file by using the ON PLAY event. Then let it read in a php snippet, set-up the Twitter oAuth-connection and put up a cronjob. But that needs some programming skills.
