Get Parcel Music URL?

So, I built myself a radio, from spare parts, and it works great -- changes the station, tracks the currently playing song (in most cases) -- but I'd like it to accurately track the now playing in multiple locations, because we own like an eighth of a sim, and it's built up to 750m. I don't want to have to go to the DJ booth to find out what I'm listening to, because, well, I'm lazy.

Question is: is there a way to query for the parcel's music URL?

I'd *like* to be able to feed that into the now playing script, instead of querying the station changer script for the last station set.

According to lslwiki.net, "there is currently no way to get the current music URL with a script". That's from this page:

You can query the URL of a video stream though, using llParcelMediaQuery, and I think you can actually play an audio stream through the video media channel... so that might be a viable alternative for you.

Danke. I'll have to see what I can do in the way of dirty hacks with parcel media...
