# An example usage of nowplay
# This is meant to be ran in a pane in something like screen or tmux.
# It runs indefinitely and periodically polls cmus to see what is playing.
# If the track name has changed, the display will update
# Kill it with ctrl+c
# Note: I have added a calendar and date/time along with the track info.
# You could add any other information you want to display, or just leave it 
# with just the track information.
