I'd like to know if it's possible to get QCD (whether through a plugin or not) to post info regarding a track that is now playing to a URL.

This would mean that I'd be able to make all sorts of PHP scripts to integrate into QCD, including stuff like "Now Playing" signatures, and suchlike.

Could someone please advise me on the best way to do this, or even give me a few hints and tips about creating my own plugin to do this?

Thanks!

AMIP or Now Playing can do this.

as acozz says both those plugins can do this in different ways. I use Now Playing (http://www.vprince.com/np/) on my website which is hosted locally (http://thetribe.mine.nu/playlist.asp - may not always be available) and I use AMIP (http://amip.tools-for.net/index.php?content=about) to take what is currently playing from QCD and upload it to my website for inclusion in a "Listening To:.." dynamic sig, although I think the new versions of AMIP have a dynamic sig property in now.

Depending on what info you want to use I'd suggest checking both of those out to see which one offers the best info for what you want :)

Listening To: [Whatever You Want by Status Quo] from the album [The Best Air Guitar Album In The World..... Ever! (CD 1)]

damn typo's
