I've come up with a solution for Mountain Lion which works pretty well for me. It uses AppleScripts and Terminal-Notifier (https://github.com/a...rminal-notifier) to display the track names as notification centre notifications.

Here's a screenshot...

I've put it all into a neat little application package for people to easily install and use themselves (see the instructions file inside the ZIP archive).

Here's the link to the ZIP file containing everything you need.

Give it a go and let me know how it goes!

Thanks a lot!

I've just released a new version because a user on MacRumors found a bug with prevents notifications from being displayed if the track or artist name starts with a bracket. Here is the new URL, could you please update the URL on OneMoreThing for me?
