If you listen to music on the machine that acts as a Webserver, set the Song
Change plugin to execute something like:

(date +', '%R' '%D; echo -n %s) > ~/public_html/last_song

I wrote a few scripts that output a spreadsheet which contains the full 
history
of songs that I listen to throughout the day. Separate spreadsheets are 
stamped
with the dates they correspond to (using a cron job). Let me know if 
you have an
interest in this as I intend to summarise it in a Web page soon.
