This simple plugin uses pynotify to notify on song changes in sonata.
This is when you don’t have the album cover:
This one shows a preview of plugin when option “Album art” is checked (and mp3 file has some decent id3-tags):
Download:
You can download it using bzr:
bzr branch lp:~l3on/sonata/sonata-plugins
Then copy notify.py into the plugins directory of sonata.
Required:
* Sonata git
* python-notify package
Suggestion:
For a better result, uncheck: Sonata → Preferences → Extra → Popup notification on song changes
Regards.
Got it in Exaile too
With sexy pause/play/stop icons when the said buttons are pressed \o/
Nice!
Hey, thanks for the plugin. But I’m having a weird problem, I’ve installed Sonata from SVN, I can’t seem to find the plugins directory. Where can I find it so I can install the notify plugin?
Thanks again.
Justin
It’s not necessary install sonata (that works without installation too).
However, take a look in this dir:
/usr/share/python-support/sonata/sonata/plugins/
Or in /usr/local/share….. , depends on the prefix that you choosen.

Thanks for the response, I resolved it. I just had to “mkdir /usr/local/lib/sonata/plugins”, and it worked! Thanks a lot for the plugin. I just wrote a crufty tutorial in wordpress on how to install Sonata from svn, download the plugin from bzr and install it.
Good luck.

Your full feed is not going to Planet Ubuntu. You should fix that.
It’s normal. There is a WordPress option to show just a preview of post in feed…

Is there a way to disable the default popups. I am getting the old notifications on resting my mouse on the tray icon? Also I have a notification when I sort a playlist by album or artist. Can I turn this off?
I’m sorry, but I think there’s no way to modify those settings. You need to change the source code…
