Listening to… can be used to display information about the songs you’re just listening to (or listened to lately) on your website. The output is freely configurable.

It is designed to interact with

  • Now Playing plug-in by Antti & Lauri Nevala for Winamp
  • Now Playing plug-in by Brandon Fuller for Winamp, iTunes for OS X, iTunes for Windows & Windows Media Player

So every time the song in your player changes, the information on your homepage is automatically updated as well. You can, however, also just manually enter song titles if you don’t want or can’t use your player.

Furthermore it can be instructed to query an Amazon Webservice to automatically retrieve cover images in different sizes for you to show along with the song data. In case you take part in Amazon’s Associates program it can also create affiliate links for you.

Update to version 1.1

The Listening to … module now also accepts a last.fm username as a source to pull recent tracks from.
