Now Playing

Now Playing is a Python 3 script that queries Last.FM for the song you are currently scrobbling. Its output can be used to determine what you are currently listening disregarding of your used service or device.

You will have to set your API key and user name in the data/data.json file. After that, simply execute the script.
