So I have a collection of my songs in my MacBook and I play it out loud. And now I'm working on my Linux machine, but I want to know the song that's currently playing without having to look at my MacBook. So I created this little script.

sudo apt-get install libnotify-bin

and then

./remote-itunes-notify <hostname>

Where <hostname> is the IP or hostname of your Mac. It must have SSH server open, and you must add your Linux public key to the Mac's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, or else it will ask your password every 10 seconds! :)

Also you can look at the terminal, to see the history of the song, in case you missed a notification. :)
