Is there any way to display the name of the music track currently playing, on the screen and for it to correspond to a playlist? So that the title of the song will pop up when the song changes? I ask because I want to position it over an on screen image of an mp3 player.

Yes, you'd use:

Code:
$ playing = renpy.music.get_playing("music")


Note that this can return None if the user has muted the music.

How would I position the text? Would it be as simple as:

Code:
$ playing = renpy.music.get_playing("music", xpos=0.1, ypos=0.1)

Oh, that simply stashes the name of the music into a variable. If you want to position it, you'd have to use a screen:

Code:
screen playing_music:
    $ playing = renpy.music.get_playing("music")
    if playing is not None:
        text playing xpos 0.1 ypos 0.1
    else:
        text "No Music Playing" xpos 0.1 ypos 0.1

Nothing seems to be appearing although the issue might be that I'm using a playlist rather than individual tracks:

Code:
python:
        def ambient(songlist, interval):
            playlist = ["music/pause.wav"]
            for song in songlist:
                playlist.append(song)
                j = renpy.random.randint(2, interval)
                for i in range(0, j):
                    playlist.append("music/pause.wav")
            return renpy.music.play(playlist, channel=6)

My bad. It's showing now, however I get 'No Music Playing' instead of the currently playing song in the playlist.

Code:
screen playing_music:
    $ playing = renpy.music.get_playing("music")
    if playing is not None:
        text playing xpos 0.1 ypos 0.1
    else:
        text "No Music Playing" xpos 0.1 ypos 0.1


Code:
python:
        def ambient(songlist, interval):
            playlist = ["music/pause.wav"]
            for song in songlist:
                playlist.append(song)
                j = renpy.random.randint(2, interval)
                for i in range(0, j):
                    playlist.append("music/pause.wav")
            return renpy.music.play(playlist, channel=6)


Code:
scene bgcar
    with fade
    $ ambient(("music/riju.mp3","music/fat girl.mp3","music/Escaping NYC.mp3"), 4)
    show screen playing_music

Does this work?

@Anima - I still get the 'No Music Playing' rather than the title track.

Hm... we might be getting into a race condition here. What's happening is that the screen is being displayed before the music gets started.

Try using Anima's code, and then putting a:

Code:
    $ renpy.pause(.25)


Between the ambient and show screen lines. (The .25 is probably long - it might even work with a delay of 0.)

@PyTom - The same problem still arises. Perhaps theres something wrong with the type of playlist I'm using?

Code:
show screen playing_music
    $ renpy.pause(.25)
    $ ambient(("music/riju.mp3","music/fat girl.mp3","music/Escaping NYC.mp3"), 4)

Are you updated to latest Ren'Py? That fixed my renpy.music.get_playing() problems before. Also, I find that the string will not update in real time. The screen needs to be refreshed every time the music changes. I got "around" this by not actively displaying the track and having the player click a playlist button to see the title.

@Aleema - I'm currently using 6.12.1.1501. Does it require upgrading?

I've discovered the issue. Rather than using Anima's code word for word I'd accidentally left in the brackets around the channel number.

Code:
screen playing_music:
    $ playing = renpy.music.get_playing("6")
    if playing is not None:
        text playing xpos 0.1 ypos 0.1
    else:
        text "No Music Playing" xpos 0.1 ypos 0.1


It's working now although it displays the filename completely i.e. ifeelfine.mp3. Is there a way to display a given text title for it? Would I have to put something in the init block similar to how images are defined?

Also, a way to give a specific colour, size and font (if the last one is possible), separate from the default?

You could use a dictionary mapping.
Code:
$ musictitles = {"ifeelfine.mp3":("I feel Fine","#00FF00",20,"FunnyFont.ttf")}

screen playing_music:
    $ playing = renpy.music.get_playing(6)
    if playing is not None:
        playing = musictitles[playing]
        text playing[0] xpos 0.1 ypos 0.1 color playing[1] size playing[2] font playing[3]
    else:
        text "No Music Playing" xpos 0.1 ypos 0.1
