I understand that the results of your search string don't always satisfy you, but there are numerous examples of how to read a text file. They just don't always refer to the specific lcd.txt or currentsong.txt files but the examples given should be able to get you started.
I'm not a programmer myself but I'm pretty sure if I took the time I would get it to work (sorry, don't have that time, nor do I have a display :-)

LOL - Sure and I wanted not to pressure somebody to program something just for me. I just thought somebody had had the same challenge in the past and ha now a script as a starting point. Meanwhile I received one example for a different setup , but not soooo complicated as using PidPlayer. So I will try to do so -and I already have bought a python book last year that has now dust on it's top. Time to remove ( the dust )
There are other difficulties with that display - no power off when the player sleeps over night. RPi has no sleep function to wake with WOL etc. But I have soem friends in the neck, they want that I build them such a nice Streaming box. So a while to go ...
Thanks for your reply and support
