title: How to get the path of a current playing track on Android
body: <p>I want to write an app to stream the current playing music to another device.
  The connection between the two devices does work and I also can stream some strings over wifi but I got problems with getting the current track.</p>
  
  <p>I used the code of <a href="http://blog.dexetra.com/2010/09/get-current-playing-track-info-from.html" rel="nofollow">this blog</a> to get some info of the current playing track, but I couldn't get the path to the file.</p>
  
  <p>I think it should be possible to get the path when I even receive the album, track or artist. But I tried and tried and didn't find anything. So I'm asking: is it even possible to get the path through a receiver? If not is there another way to get the current track and its path?</p>
