SNIP

ABOUT

This small application sits in the system tray and updates a text file with the currently playing audio track.

It supports the following media players:

If you choose to use iTunes, Snip will automatically launch it. (This is the behavior of the COM API and there's nothing I can do about it.) If you only use Spotify, you don't have to worry about it.

To switch between players just right-click on the icon in the system tray.

Snip will write a generic format output to a file called Snip.txt within the same folder as Snip.exe. If you choose to save information to separate files, the files will be called Snip_Artist.txt, Snip_Track.txt, Snip_Album.txt, and Snip_History.txt (track history).

VARIABLES

There are a handful of variables you can use within the Output Settings.

These variables only affect the output of Snip.txt itself.

  • $$t = Track Title
  • $$ut = TRACK TITLE
  • $$lt = track title
  • $$a = Track Artist
  • $$ua = TRACK ARTIST
  • $$la = track artist
  • $$l = Track Album
