Applescript assistence grabbing current track info

[thnetos]

I'm having some trouble grabbing the currently playing track with Applescript, here's is what I'm trying to do:

Code: Select all

tell application "Decibel"
	set currentTrack to title of nowPlaying
	growlNotify("Currently Playing", currentTrack)
end tell

using terms from application "GrowlHelperApp"
	-- Register Growl
	tell application "GrowlHelperApp"
		register as application "Decibel" all notifications {"Alert"} default notifications {"Alert"} icon of application "Decibel.app"
	end tell
	
	on growlNotify(growlTitle, growlDescription)
		tell application "GrowlHelperApp"
			notify with name "Alert" title growlTitle description growlDescription application name "Decibel"
		end tell
	end growlNotify
end using terms from

Anyone have any pointers for "set currentTrack to title of nowPlaying"? This is the part I don't have correct. (I'm not really an Applescript expert).

Did you check out the Growl notifier plugin? You can activate it from the Preferences plug-in pane.

Yea, I use that also, however I like having a keybinding to display the currently playing track without bringing the player up at any time. (I forget what song is playing or paused quite frequently).
