i hadn't seen your suggesion about the notify command earlier. that fixed everything and i'm now able to see the now playing track info. what is that supposed to do specifically?

It is a Hijack option that enables (a totally rad feature) writing the currently playing track to /proc/empeg_notify so that other apps can read it. You can see the raw data I read for the web interface by going to http://your-empeg-ip/proc/empeg_notify.
