gollark: osmarks internet radio™'s 0 listeners can now know what track is playing *and* how long it is, although this may be inaccurate if their browser does weird stuff.
gollark: Okay, I just managed to implement displaying of... at least what the server is playing on its stream, browsers apparently do some irritating caching stuff.
gollark: So it's kind of hacky, but I *can* hook up the random stuff API to the osmarks.tk MPD server and have it provide song info.

gollark: I really need to work out how to display this automatically.
