Show Play Music's 'now playing' notification on Windows PC At my desk, while working, I typically stream music from Google Play Music (GPM) using my Chromecast Audio device linked up to my hifi. I control this via my Samsung Galaxy S5.

What I'd like is some way to display the 'now playing' track on my Windows 10 laptop (as a widget or notification, preferably), as this is the screen that occupies my attention; I don't want to have to divert my attention from my work in order to turn the phone screen on every time the track changes.

Is there anyway I can accomplish this (I could conceivably script something if there was an appropriate API, but there doesn't seem to be). Or a way to send that info from the phone to the laptop?
First, make sure you have Google Chrome Chrome on your computer and
  add the Cast button to your toolbar.
  
  Then, follow these steps:
  
  
  Open Chrome
  Connect your computer and Chromecast to the same
  wireless network
  Go to Google Play Music (play.google.com/music)
  using Chrome. You can also add the Play Music chrome extension and
  cast from here instead
  Click a song, album, or playlist
  Click the play icon
  Near the bottom of the screen, click the cast icon. It will be next to the playback controls
  Under "Connect to a device", select your Chromecast from the device list. 
  
  
  To disconnect:
  Near the top right of your browser, touch the cast icon Cast > Stop
  casting.
  
  Playback controls: You can use the playback controls on Google Play
  Music, near the bottom of the screen.
  
  Note: You may want to keep the music player open when casting music
  from your computer. Playback controls can't be used after the music
  player has been closed, the computer has been turned off, or an
  Internet connection has been lost.
