how about a format character for the current status?
so that if your current status is "coding"
and the song you were listening to was "Someday You Will Be Loved" by Death
Cab for Cutie
and your format string was "%s - %t by %p"
your status would be "coding - Someday You Will Be Loved by Death Cab for
Cutie"
