I've searched around a bit in the small amount of iPhone/iPod Touch development information available and couldn't find anything for or against. Can an application find out information about currently playing song on iPhone/iPod Touch? Since the music can continue to play while you are in 3rd party applications, is there a function or library that will give you information about what is playing? (Track, Artist, Album, etc.) I know generally that applications are sand-boxed but thought maybe there was a way.

You can use Find My on your iPod touch to see the location of your device on a map and play a sound on it to help you find it. If the device is online, you see the location of the device. If the device is offline, you see the location of the device the last time it went online or connected to the Find My network.
When you're an Apple Music subscriber, you can see music your friends are listening to by following them. You can also see the playlists they've shared. Likewise, your followers can see your shared playlists and the music you're listening to.
If you aren't planning to put your app on the App Store you can import MobileMusicPlayer.h as seen in this example application: song-info
edit: Interacting with the iPod application is now part of the iPhone OS 3.0 SDK
