  <title>User Tune</title>
  <abstract>This specification defines a payload format for communicating information about music to which a user is listening, including the title, track number, collection, performer, composer, and length. The payload format is typically transported using the personal eventing profile of XMPP publish-subscribe as specified in XEP-0163.</abstract>

<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
  <p>This document defines a protocol for communicating information about the music to which a user is listening. Such information may be seen as a kind of "extended presence", and users may want to communicate such information to their contacts on the network as a fun add-on to traditional IM applications or to provide integration with common music-player applications.</p>
</section1>
<section1 topic='Protocol' anchor='protocol'>
  <section2 topic='Container Element and Child Elements' anchor='protocol-elements'>
    <p>Information about tunes is provided by the user and propagated on the network by the user's client. The information container for tune data is a &lt;tune/&gt; element that is qualified by the 'http://jabber.org/protocol/tune' namespace. The tune information itself is provided as the XML character data of the following children of the &lt;tune/&gt; element:</p>
    <table caption='Child Elements'>
      <tr>
        <th>Element</th>
        <th>Description</th>
        <th>Example</th>
        <th>Datatype</th>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>artist</td>
        <td>The artist or performer of the song or piece</td>
        <td>Yes</td>
        <td>xs:string</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>length</td>
        <td>The duration of the song or piece in seconds</td>
        <td>686</td>
        <td>xs:unsignedShort</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>source</td>
        <td>The collection (e.g., album) or other source (e.g., a band website that hosts streams or audio files)</td>
        <td>Yessongs</td>
        <td>xs:string</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>title</td>
        <td>The title of the song or piece</td>
        <td>Heart of the Sunrise</td>
        <td>xs:string</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>track</td>
        <td>A unique identifier for the tune; e.g., the track number within a collection or the specific URI for the object (e.g., a stream or audio file)</td>
        <td>3</td>
        <td>xs:string</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>uri</td>
        <td>A URI or URL pointing to information about the song, collection, or artist</td>
        <td>http://www.yesworld.com/lyrics/Fragile.html#9</td>
        <td>xs:anyURI</td>
      </tr>

  <section2 topic='Transport Mechanism' anchor='protocol-transport'>
    <p>Tune information SHOULD be communicated and transported by means of the &xep0060; subset specified in &xep0163;. Because tune information is not pure presence information and can change independently of the user's availability, it SHOULD NOT be provided as an extension to &PRESENCE;.</p>

  <p>To prevent a large number of updates when a user is skipping through tracks, an implementation SHOULD wait several seconds before publishing new tune information.</p>
  <p>If the length is unknown (e.g., the user is listening to a stream), the &lt;length/&gt; element SHOULD NOT be included.</p>
