Dear Pimoroni community,  
did anyone manage to display the song title played via Volumio ([https://volumio.org/](https://volumio.org/)) or another MPD on an PI-attached Pimoroni Scroll pHAT?  
I even rather would like a Pi Zero with scroll pHAT display the title of a song that is playing on another Pi with Volumio on my network.  
As I am not much of a python programmer, any idea or help is welcome.  
Many thanks and best regards  
Muhackl

I have a program that does something similar, I’m using my Volumio player as a radio.

I could post the whole program, or, if you prefer to delve a little yourself, you might like to start here :

Hi,  
I’d like to revive this topic. I startet this project again and did not find a solution since. The page @TracyS posted is down unfortunately. So I would be happy for any help.

you could look at some examples here :

> **[mpd.MPDClient Example](https://programtalk.com/python-examples/mpd.MPDClient/)**
>
> python code examples for mpd.MPDClient. Learn how to use python api mpd.MPDClient

basically you need to connect to your MPD source, then you can get status information, details of the currently playing song, etc.

maybe try and get a bit of code running and come back if you need more help?

Cheers,  
Tracy.
