controll/read iTunes via. PHP

hi

i'd like to programm a script, that i can run via. http (e.g. my Clié with WiFi), and that can controll iTunes.

what should it do:
-read infos (volume, playing title, rating, actual playlist)
-set actions (play, stop, next, volume, )


how can i read this stuff with PHP???
sure, i'll run it on the localhost

the hole project will be opensource

The only way I know of to control iTunes is via AppleScript. Dunno otherwise. Sorry! However, I'll look for you, because this is something I want to do too.

perfect.

thanks.

but how the **** can i read the actually playlist???

Those commands in the php file look like simple AppleScript commands. So all you'd need to find is an applescript that displayed the currently playing song and/or its playlist.

Shows the current song (or as many as you want it to show)
