phpTunes allows you to display the song you are currently listening to on iTunes by auto-uploading it to your PHP website.

You can implement it in any Web page with PHP. Register here through PayPal for $5 to remove the unregistered message that is overlaid after 20 minutes and unlock several display options.

I am getting several emails requesting help because they are running into PHP errors when they try to use the PHP script. Make sure permissions are set on the folder that holds itunes.php, otherwise itunes.php can't work.

i notice people are trying to upload their library.xml files. you don't have to do this! all you need to do is enter a username and password in the itunes.php file, upload the it to a server, then run the application. in the application, enter the url to the itunes.php file you uploaded, and enter the username and password you chose, and click update. no uploading of a library.xml file or any use of mysql is required. i was trying to keep this simple, dont make it complicated! this was all explained in the read me file. the download link works fine, but if you are having problems, go to http://macware.byethost5.com/phptunes and click the download link there.

Note the semi-colon. Sorry about that.
