Bug Description
Since the API changed in 0.3.xx from 0.2.xx, the Current song plugin was no longer compatible. Current song is a plugin that pushes the current playing tracks details to Pidgin to be set as "Now Playing". Attached herewith is the port of the plugin to the 0.3.0 API. As far as the license of the plugin is concerned, I am still waiting on an email from the author of "IM Status" plugin (from 0.2.xx) from which Current song (for 0.2.xx) was derived from. It was decided on IRC, that if the original author is unreachable, that the plugin be released in GPLv2+ (my choice would then be GPLv3).
PS: I do not know Python. This port could be aptly described as "hacking", so if I didn't code something properly, please let me know.

I have not heard back from the author. Hence, it is safe to assume that the plugin would have been licensed under GPLv2. In order to keep a better compatibility of license with Exaile, I guess I'll release this plugin under GPLv2. I'll add the appropriate headers and upload a new version of the plugin once I get the time/chance.
