i actually don't want gjay to communicate with the other music player
directly in this instance.  The lab is an educational lab, and i want
minimal distractions for students if possible (e.g. fewer music players
is better than more).

But one of the students is doing a science experiment that involves
being able to measure the bpm of music -- i want to give that student
the tools to do their research from any workstation without adding
unnecessary bits to the rest of the systems.

If you have suggestions for free software other than gjay that can
provide that kind of information, i'd be happy to learn about them too
-- i don't know this particular sub-field terribly well.
