I run my tournaments with music in the background and players are constantly asking, what's that playing. Is there a way to use the console variable marquee to display this info as it would be displayed on the itunes? or in any fashion rather. I'm assuming this is more of an itunes question than a TM but just in case anyone knows the answer I would love it.

Options:
- You could manually type the song name into a console variable each time there is a new song
- You could write something that talks to itunes and spits out a properly formatted XML file that can be used as an RSS feed and picked up by the app.
