GregSong [in development]

A simple on stream overlay to denote the current song being played. Useful for Twitch broadcasters.

How it works

GregSong was originally created to be used with foobar2000, but has been build to support a dynamic text file that is updated with the current song information by the media player. GregSong will watch for file changes and notify the overlay accordingly.

File Format

There are 2 basic states that GregSong looks for in the text file, playing and stopped. There is no plan to customize this format at the moment, but may be reconsidered in the future.

playing: <Artist> - <Song Name>
stopped

Example

playing: Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up
