It waits for dbus signals notifying a transition of song and the availability of meta data. The source is in /opt/rx/media-im-status-updater/ if you want to have a look

Also, I've been using it myself for the past few days, forcing my handset to use 2G when I'm not actively using the internet as it's the best way to keep IM accounts from draining the battery, which should be the real concern
