Well my Ampache Now Playing module for drupal is officially 100% done! Pending its approval at http://drupal.org you will be able to download and use it! This is my first big project in php/mysql so I’m really excited for it to be out there for people to use.

Once it gets approved i will dedicate a page here for it, but until then…

Features

The Ampache Now Playing Module can display, in a block, the current song you are listening to with Ampache, as well as its corresponding album art. The module takes the RSS now playing feed from Ampache, and uses that to display the current song, artist and album, as well as from what device you are streaming to, and what time you streamed it (started listening).

I am about 90% of the way done with my Ampache Now Playing drupal module! You can get a sneak peak of what it will look like on the right hand side of my website under the menu! I will be posting it to drupals website, making a youtube video going through the process of installing it and configuring it with your ampache installation (it’s not hard at all!), and telling ampache.org about it.

If you are unfamiliar with Ampache check it out at Ampache. It’s an awesome and free way to catalog and access your music anywhere in the world. It’s PHP/MySQL driven, and you can an install it on any computer with apache or fastcgi running. You can access it over the web or on your phone. I use my iPhone to stream my music using ampache, it’s perfect, check it out!
