# Pianobar Growl

Growl notifications for [Pianobar](http://6xq.net/projects/pianobar/)!

- - -

### How does it work?

Using Pianobar's neato eventcmd interface, this script uses AppleScript to pop up growl notifications every time the current song changes. It's as simple as that.

### Installation

For those not familiar with Pianobar's configuration file, add this line to ```~/.config/pianobar/config```:

```event_command = /path/to/script/pianobar-growl.rb```

If any of those directories or the file doesn't exist, go ahead and create them. If you want more information on the Pianobar config file, check out this [example one](https://github.com/PromyLOPh/pianobar/blob/master/contrib/config-example), or take a look at the manpage.

### Dependencies

This script will only work (/correctly/) with Ruby > 1.9.3 due to shellwords barfing on unicode in previous versions :(

Also be sure you have Growl installed and running, otherwise this script is useless!

### Other Stuff

This script registers itself with Growl as "Pianobar," with the iTunes icon if you feel like customizing your Growl notifications or whatever.

### License

Because why not?
