How do I get info on songs playing into Indigo?

Sorry if there is a manual or other documentation somewhere that I missed. How can I get information on the song and/or playlist now playing? Is there a variable? I want to use a different plugin to send the information to my audio controller keypad.

I believe what you want is the device state ZP_currentTrack.

Thanks. I found it and it works.

Follow-up - how do I tell Sonos a command from Python?

I see from other forum thread that something like:
sonosPlugin.executeAction("actionZP_addPlayerToZone", props={'setting':zInput.id}, deviceId=zMaster.id

should work. But I am not sure of the parameters to pass? Is there a list somewhere? What would be zInput.id, for example?
