This widget will tell you what is current playing through the Chumby's Music control panel -- the song; the artist, if available; and the source of the music such as My Music Files, iPod, ShoutCast, etc. It uses information available at the time the widget is started, so it is better to keep this in rotation rather than pin it down.

If you change music sources while this widget is currently playing, the information will not be updated until the next time the widget starts. (see the Shoutcase and SlimServer cases for exceptions).
This wdiget is also designed to be skipped if no music is playing. The can be overridden with a configuration option (see below).
