you ahve to put it in the body too im guessing... but either way you have to go up to the menu bar and select that heading from the 'status' menu.

It will only show when someone IMs you.

Like:

It also needs to poll iTunes for the current song, so if you put it in an available message that doesn't auto reply, give it a minute to come up with the song name

How about setting your away status to the current song?

How would I do that?

I know iChat has this built in, I was wondering if I could use this applescript to do this.

Just do it the same way you would make a regular away message, just enter the script (I think it's /music) into the input field

Yes, it’s /music. Changed to %_music in 0.9 though.
