Hmm.. Okay, yeah, now I understand. I did not know that about the /proc system, and that clears it up. For obvious reasons, then, I don't even NEED that statement, but thanks.

Which, then, I guess, leads to a different question.

Other than always looking at the 'contents' of 'empeg_notify', is there a different way one could tell (other than listening, heh.) that the 'current song playing' has changed? That's my /ultimate' goal..

Many thanks!
Mike.
