late-night geekery

ijournal, the Mac LJ client I use, does not properly detect all the information about the current track if you use Audion; it only gets the track name, leaving you to add in the artist manually. If you use iTunes it grabs all this info, but not Audion.

Admittedly, Audion didn't make the other data available when music detection was added to iJournal. But it does now, and has for some time.

Why do you care about this in the slightest if you're not using a Mac running OSX, with Audion as your mp3 player of choice? Well... I got the source to iJournal and beat my head against it for a few hours, and now it properly queries Audion for artist and album, as well as track name.

I'm going to clean up the code some this weekend, or next week, and then see about submitting my changes, and maybe persuading the people who run the project to put out an official build sometime soon.
