Who's depriving anyone of a feature?

I was just commenting on the fact that there are issues with this kind of feature, and suggesting that it might be more beneficial to ask the Empeg team for an API, and let Mark work on other more useful features for Hijack. I see this feature as not nearly as useful as other things that could be put in, particularly in the player's interface to user applications. I'll fully admit that I'm biased to that because I'm developing stuff for the Empeg myself. But it's my right to chime in on the features people suggest and give my opinion. This is a discussion forum, right?

Your web page idea is already easily done.. If you're talking about a web page on your PC reading what's playing on the Empeg and showing the info, all that is available via Hijack right now. Browse to http://x.x.x.x/proc/empeg_notify on your player and do some Perl magic. No "per song scripting" necessary.

Don't write me off as a party pooper here, I would not cry my eyes out if Mark whipped this feature up, but I just thought it wasn't a huge win, and the real solution is a player API. That's all.
