Remote-itunes-notify is a project mainly written in PHP, it's free.
Displays currently playing iTunes song in a remote Mac on your Linux desktop (powered by ssh).
So I have a collection of my songs in my MacBook and I play it out loud. And now I'm working on my Linux machine, but I want to know the song that's currently playing without having to look at my MacBook. So I created this little script.
sudo apt-get install libnotify-binand then
./remote-itunes-notify <hostname>Where <hostname> is the IP or hostname of your Mac. It must have SSH server open, and you must add your Linux public key to the Mac's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys,
or else it will ask your password every 10 seconds! :)
Also you can look at the terminal, to see the history of the song, in case you missed a notification. :)
