So, after fiddling with the previously mentioned wp-itunes Wordpress plugin, I have got it automatically adding the last song played when I publish — no more of this typing crap. Hit more to get the code changes…
Here is the code that I added, complete with ugly debugging code!:
add_action('publish_post', 'add_meta_tunes', 7);
function return_wp_itunes($limit = 10) {
global $wpdb, $table_itunes, $blank_image, $local_offset;
$results = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $table_itunes ORDER BY added_date DESC LIMIT $limit");
$retstring = "";
if ($results) {
foreach ($results as $itune) {
if ($itune->image == "")
$itune->image = $blank_image;
$retstring .= "n";
$retstring .= "$itune->artist - $itune->album - $itune->trackn";
$retstring .= "n";
}
}
return $retstring;
}
function add_meta_tunes($post_ID) {
global $wpdb, $tablepostmeta;
global $debug;
if( !isset($post_ID)) $post_ID = $_REQUEST['post_ID'];
$metakey = $wpdb->escape("tunes");
$metavalue = $wpdb->escape(return_wp_itunes(1));
$log = fopen("/tmp/wpitunes.log", "w");
fwrite($log, "Just testingn");
// Quick-n-dirty check for dups:
$dupcheck = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT post_id FROM $tablepostmeta WHERE post_id='$post_ID'",ARRAY_A);
if ($dupcheck[0]['post_id']) {
$id = $dupcheck[0]['post_id'];
fwrite($log, "Skipping duplicate post ID = $idn");
fclose($log);
return $post_ID;
}
fwrite($log, "name = $metavaluen");
fclose($log);
if (!empty($metavalue)) {
$result = $wpdb->query("
INSERT INTO $tablepostmeta
(post_id,meta_key,meta_value)
VALUES ('$post_ID','$metakey','$metavalue')
");
}
return $post_ID;
}

Hi
I came accross this page whilst trying to find a way to insert the currently playing song into each Wordpress post when I publish. I’ve read back on the thread but am a bit confused about whether this is what I need!
I have got the wp-itunes plugin working so that the last song played shows in the sidebar of my blog, but I really want at the end of each post. I THINK that’s what you describe above but I’m not sure what file I should insert your code in?
If you have time it would be great if you could let me know - thanks

Ok — so the change I made was to “wp-content/themes/GreenTrack/post.php” — obviously you will need to change this for whatever theme you are using. I use the custom field plugin that pulls the value of the itunes item that gets added with each post.
I added this before the ‘post-content’ block:
<small> <?php echo c2c_get_custom(’tunes’, ‘iTunes says:’); ?></small>
