I'm trying to make a little bash script which I could call with a keyboard shortcut and which could detect which song is currently playing and vote it up or down, stuff like that. How can I get information about the currently playing song? And what about the previous song?

I'm using Banshee, but maybe there is a way to get currently playing song which works with multiple players? Or maybe a general way which can be tweaked to work on different players?

Oops, another question made me think of looking in the manual... Apparently it's really simple to get info about the currently playing song using the --query-* commands. From the manual:

   --query-uri
          URI

   --query-artist
          Artist Name

   --query-album
          Album Title

   --query-title
          Track Title
