Re: new plugin for retrieving and displaying current playing song in Rhythmbox

Hey bill,
thanks for the tip and the comments. I will try to put this into a loop asap.
I could not find a link to add a plugin on the site.
also i was wondering what kind of documentation (if any) is required
inside the python files?? I realise that there is literally no
documentation in there and hence it might be hard for someone new to
install this.
let me know.
