Can Empathy show what Rhythmbox track I'm listening to?

Question

There was an MSN Messenger feature that would show what track you were currently listening to. I'm using Rhythmbox as my music player. Does Empathy have this feature?

You can also just open the Edit ➜ Plugins menu in Rhythmbox and enable the "IM Status" plugin. Worked instantly for me.

Empathy Doesn't Have a plugin system so there are no plugin's that will interface with empathy.

However there is a Rhythmbox plugin that interfaces with pidgin that will do what you want called Rhythmidgin they have an installation guide on there launchpad page here

Hope this helps
