Just launch this Widget and your iChat tells people what music you're currently listening to. Your icon becomes the album artwork (taken from iTunes) and your away message becomes the song name and artist!
Great widget. For those of you like myself who don't like this widget always opening up iChat, just edit the thingy.applescript file and put all the original code inside this code and it will only update iChat if its already running:
tell application "Finder"
set x to name of every process
end tell
if ("iChat" is in x) then
<<PUT ORIGINAL CODE HERE>>
end if

I LOVE this widget. Fix the iTunes-keeps-starting-up-until-you-quit-Konfab problem and it'll get a 4 star rating, easily. Thanks so much for this!

Works great as long as you're not playing shared music from another machine. I have a mac set up as a central iTunes server and my iChat machine is getting it's iTunes from there - and this widget won't do anything. I only have a couple audiobooks locally on this machine and the widget works fine for them.

works nicely except for the issue of iChat re-opening whenever one tries to quit without quitting the widget first. I guess version 1 will fix the issue. Nice one Jordan!

As far as i'm concerned, iChat Status does nothing close the what my widget does. (I.E. They r very different)
