Hi! I am back after a nice
glaucoma... I am ok so... Here we go!
I was reading comments about the music plugin for iTunes in OS X Snow Leopard. So, I writed this copying the Unix info files (for Linux and BSDs). Mac OS X is a BSD, so, using the wonderful Shell Script and Osascript, I writed another one.
Please, test it. It works for me. Go to /Applications/aMSN.app/Contents/Resources/Scripts/plugins/music/ and paste the files (maybe needs to set as executable the file "infoitunes", so open the terminal, go to the directory with files and do "chmod +x infoitunes).
The files is:

#!/bin/bash
# by nicolunacba 2010
#Check if iTunes is Open
ACTIVE=`osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to (name of processes) contains "iTunes"'`
if [[ $ACTIVE == "false" ]]; then
echo 0
exit 0
fi
#Get info ... UPDATE! Fixed typo
ARTIST=`osascript -e 'tell application "iTunes" to do shell script "echo " & "\"" & (artist of current track) & "\""'`
TITLE=`osascript -e 'tell application "iTunes" to do shell script "echo " & "\"" & (name of current track) & "\""'`
echo 1
#Print it as a normal Unix shellscript :-)
echo $ARTIST
echo $TITLE
exit 0
Try pressing play and stop (in the icon of aMSN) until text appears. Or be patient. It's an script :-P
