How do I get data about currently playing song

Postby JimmyRcom » 31 May 2013 00:28

There's no way to delete currently playing song so I wanted to make a script to do so. All I need is the file name. So far my best bet is using the web interface data in http://localhost:8080/requests/status.xml , but the filename tag contains the title and not the filename so I have to cross reference it to http://localhost:8080/requests/playlist.xml , which seems like it could have issues if the song has the same title. Is there maybe a command to dump data?
