Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When a song starts playing the bot doesn't automatically show which one. That can be a little bit annoying when doing something else while the bot is playing in the background.

Describe the solution you'd like
When the bot starts a new song, it automatically posts the song title similar to the "Now playing" command

Describe the basic flow/steps of using this feature
How this feature would be used:

  1. Turn on the feature via a command like "!setautonowplaying"
  2. Bot starts song
  3. Bot posts "Now playing" information (Title, song length)

Although not quite the exact feature you're describing, the nowplaying command already continues to update - including when new songs start - assuming you have npimages = false in your config.

If this was to implemented, being able to choose a "now playing" channel would be nice to reduce spam lol

I have issued !nowplaying however it only responds once – when the next song starts I don't get the message in the chat (only in the bot's own "Listening to ... " status message and in the text chat channel description).

An automated !nowplaying message every time it swaps songs would be a useful feature.
