iTunes integration

You can display live information in your status, profile, or messages about the song currently playing in iTunes.

Status

Choose the "♫ iTunes" status from the Status menu to be marked as 'Available' with information about the current song as the message.

To show the currently playing song in iTunes in your custom Available and Away statuses, include one of the 'tokens' listed below in your status; you can also choose these directly from the "Insert Script" submenu of the "Edit" menu.

In either case, the information will be automatically updated when the song changes.

Messages

The tokens listed below, or found in the the "Insert Script" submenu of the "Edit" menu, can also be used anywhere else you enter text in Adium, including your messages.

Profiles

You can also add the current playing song in iTunes in your AOL Instant Messenger or MobileMe (formerly known as .Mac) profile by editing your profile and then selecting your choice of iTunes script from the "Insert Script" submenu of the "Edit" menu.

MSN & XMPP

Apart from your status, MSN and XMPP show a separate "Now Playing" field in other people's clients. You can turn this on or off in the account's preferences → Privacy → "Let others know what iTunes is playing".
