Make current song work with local media also

• An app called Bearded Spice allows Mac media keys to control lots of websites and applications. This might help to display the song or introduce media controls to the toolbar
• Possibly include a script for mpd songs

For a while now (since Firefox 57), Firefox extensions haven't been able to write to local filesystem. So the 'currently playing' part of my bar just cycles through short phrases that I manually write to ~/.config/song.txt.

It could work with something a dedicated music player like mpsyt or shpotify and a script that saves the song title to a local file, but I don't have that much interest in getting it working. Might come about as a result of some other work eventually.

This firefox extension downloads a file correctly. I got it working with YouTube Music for the nerdbar setup -- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/user/13769756/

Here is a video of it working -- https://youtu.be/DjPzrL6rth8
