Hi! How can I manage to show the album and artist information from my MOCP (Music on console)? I am a total newbie, so I don't know how to do that. I want to have something similar like this:

fav.me/d5nw79f

Thanks in advance!

That's not quite an answer, but I was a moc user too, but after I've discovered mpd + ncmpcpp I found it a quite better and more configurable. And there's py3status plugin for showing mpd status in i3status.

And as a general advice - first look into py3status (http://github.com/ultrabug/py3status) or other i3status wrapper, because writting modules for vanilla i3status is quite a challenge.
