My computer says “Add this track to your playlist” to the channel if I use “eq” but with “==” it says what I’m playing and when not playing it echos me “Nothing playing!”.

So why not use somethind “bad” if it works when the original doesn’t?

Ummm….

Using == is BAD for strings. Comparing any two strings with == will return true. If you don’t believe me, try perl -e 'print "true\n" if ("Add this track to your playlist" == "hi")'

That said, if you have the same script I downloaded, changing it to == should NEVER work, but will only print “Nothing playing!” every time you use the command.

I don’t know if this feature has something to do with different perl versions.

The command you provided ( curl –silent http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/1.0/user/$lastfmuser/recenttracks.txt | head -n1 | sed ‘s,^………..,,;’ | recode utf-8..iso-8859-1 ) fetches the last song you’ve finished listening to, not the one you’re currently listening to.

First I had “not enough parameters” errors, but I got this working on my server by changing
grep -A 1 “”
to
grep -A 1 ”
