Output currently playing to text file

Mostly for streaming purposes, but having the ability to output currently playing info to a text file to then be picked up by OBS or otherwise would really be handy!

Are you on Linux or Windows? On Linux MPRIS already exists to broadcast currently playing info to the system. If you write a script that pulls from that then it will work with any player. (Check out the cli app playerctl.)

I personally am on Linux and am aware of that solution. However Windows users don´t have that option.
A friend of mine just found out about Tauon and loves it!
He uses both Windows and Linux, and was asking about this feature so I proposed it.

I think you could abuse the Listen Along feature for this.

There is SMTC on Windows which is the Windows equivalent of MPRIS. Its a little more obtuse to develop for, this post I found goes over it https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65011660/how-can-i-get-the-title-of-the-currently-playing-media-in-windows-10-with-python
