A way to announce what you are listening to in an IM/CHAT

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I am hoping there can be a way for musictracker to announce what you are
listening to in an IM/CHAT, like some other plugins do. Also to have the
option to turn this ON and OFF. Plus a hotkey to announce it manually
(whether the option be ON or OFF).

Since 0.4.4, musictracker has supported "/nowplaying" or "/np", which inserts 
the
track information into the conversation.

(binding a slash-command to a hotkey would perhaps be best dealt with in a 
generic
fashion, perhaps by another plugin)

I'm not sure what you are suggesting, do you mean that you would like to see
musictracker insert the track information into the conversation every time it 
changes?

OK, I wasn't aware that it supported "/nowplaying" or "/np".

With that said.. I am suggesting to add the option to add the command to a 
hotkey. 

Also perhaps to have a custom status for when you announce it in an IM.

Binding a slash command to a hotkey might be more properly within the scope of 
the
pidgin-hotkeys plugin: http://pidgin-hotkeys.sourceforge.net/ , although from a 
quick
look, it doesn't look like that can do that right now...

This means make the format used with /np separately configurable?

Actually I'd love to enable it so /np was executed each time a new song started 
playing. In particular I'd like to enable this per chat room (we have a music 
chat room at work which people can notify what song is currently playing into, 
and discuss the songs playing).
