Afterthought

Remember, your Buddies will only see the first 42 characters of your status message. So, do you want them to see:

The Allman Brothers Band - In Memory of El

or

In Memory of Elizabeth Reed - The Allman B

Isn't it the track name you want to show off?

What if you create an available/away message that will also display the music you are currently listening to. Are you still limited to 42 chars and do you still have the Music Store Arrow at the end?

PS: I created a new away message in the iChat.plist file and it seems to work fine but I can't test if Strings longer than 42 are truncated or not.

Just ask one of the people in your Buddies list what they see for your status :)
