I don't think its as simple as using RN with %a for the artist or whatever. You can use the RLM stuff quite easily though you'll have to do a bit of C and recompile it.

Have a look at rlm_test in the source to see if this is something you can amend.

This test rlm simply prints all the info to the screen whenever now/next changes. You could combine it with curl to get/post to a PHP script or something. Or if its a simple shell script, in the rlm_test_RLMPadDataSent function just replace all the printf stuff with someting like this:

char cmd[1024];
sprintf(cmd,"/path/to/my/script.sh \"Now Playing Cart %06u: Artist: %s - Title: %s\"", now->rlm_cartnum, now->rlm_artist, now->rlm_title);

printf("cmd: %s", cmd);
system(cmd);

My C is very rusty so you may have to tweak this to get it to compile.

Greetings,
I was wondering if anyone had tried using the macro line in now&next settings in rdairplay to do something like set a variable to say something like the song Id? Perhaps using RN macro.
I want to pass a number to a script based on the song that is playing.

Thoughts?

Cheers
