List of music players that work with Conky?

[SomeGuyDude]

A big thing for me is making sure I can get conky to play nice with my music player of choice, and I'm curious how many actually do work. So far I know of:

1) Amarok
2) Exaile
3) Audacious
4) XMMS
5) MPD
6) XMMS2
7) Rhythmbox

Still looks like we got nothing from Quod Libet, Banshee, or Songbird. Do any of them work, but I'm unaware of it?

there's also gmusicbrowser (http://gmusicbrowser.sourceforge.net), which can be used in combination with conky

I've looked for quod libet info in conky, no dice. QL and Songbird are the ones I'd like to see working in conky, if anyone has managed this or knows anything about it the news would be much appreciated.

i would love to have support for banshee.
previously had conky configured perfectly with amarok
but amarok wasnt really the best IMO
i prefer the full library veiw over the playlist veiw due to my 7000+ song library

ive been tinkering with the code but everything ive tried hasnt worked

Banshee/Quod Libet would be awesome, but currently lacking far as I know.

how can i do it?

i find this patch (http://squentin.free.fr/gmusicbrowser/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=third_party_apps:conky) for conky, but its for old version

Ive got conky working with banshee by getting conky to query banshee.

${color #5c1f1f}Banshee${hr 2}${color #b23d3d}
${exec banshee-1 --query-artist}
${exec banshee-1 --query-title}
${exec banshee-1 --query-track-number}
${exec banshee-1 --query-album}
${exec banshee-1 --query-position}
