TweetThatTune was created as a simple ‘can I do this’ project to allow me to post my currently playing track in VLC to Twitter. Once in twitter, I can mark the tweet as a favorite and, Voila!, an instant list of tracks to be purchased. Sounds kind-of intrusive, but I actually find it much easier than jotting songs down with pen and paper.
Download the entire project here. Requires Visual Studio 2010. You’ll also need to grab Twitterizer and add a reference to the Twitterizer2 dll.
This project is very much a work in progress and is no-where near complete. That being said, if there is a feature you would like to see, feel free to let me know!

Bugs / Todo
- Twitter API Status doesn’t refresh properly
- Save link label for Service URL doesn’t show any type of success or failure notification (maybe a messagebox?).
- Exception is thrown when VLC is stopped but TTT is still running. Need to catch and handle.
- Authentication form shows default application icon. Needs to be removed or some type of icon created.
- Authentication form needs to be fixed size and minimize / maximize controls disabled.
- Change background color of status box to white.
- Minimize main form to system tray and show balloon text for Tweets.
- Look and feel enhancements… This thing is ugly. Maybe look at migrating over to WPF?
