One thing I have noticed in my testing of Ratpoison is that it supports echoing messages to the screen via its statusbar. Does anyone know if it would be possible to have this work with MPD and Conky, so that track changes are announced via Ratpoison's statusbar?

I don't know. The only thing i can tell you is that MPD is the fastest music player arround. Greetings!

Conky gives you the status of mpd every so many seconds, I don't think it can tell when the song changes.
/var/lib/mpd/mpdstate is a text file and constains information you can use to make a script that doesn't need conky.

Thanks! I will look into it.

Haven't used ratpoison for a while now, but I used to bind the function keys to conky scripts like so
F1 = conky -i 1 -c ~/.conky_mem | ratpoisonremote
Sorry I can't remember the ratpoison commands syntax etc, but you get the idea
conkys -i option lets you specify how may times conky will output in this case once. You will also need to specify "out_to_console yes" in your conky config
