I switched from pianobar to Pithos as pianobar didn’t work as well with conky as I would have liked. The script below lets me get information from Pithos that I can use in pianobar.

#!/usr/bin/php
< ?php

$song=`dbus-send --print-reply --dest=net.kevinmehall.Pithos /net/kevinmehall/Pithos net.kevinmehall.Pithos.GetCurrentSong`;

$matches = array();

switch($argv[1]) {
	case 'album':
		$pattern = '~"album".*?"(.*?)".*~s';
		break;
	case 'title':
		$pattern = '~"title".*?"(.*?)".*~s';
		break;
	case 'artist':
		$pattern = '~"artist".*?"(.*?)".*~s';
		break;
	default:
		exit;
}

preg_match($pattern, $song, $matches);

if($matches) {
	echo $matches[1];
}
