I've been trying to write a sketch which will allow me to read the current song playing in winamp from a text file (nowplaying.txt) and output it through usb to an arduino.

So far, the code i have returns the error on the "if" line :  The type of the expression must be an array type but it resolved to String     (keep in mind that i have yet to add the serial aspect)

1.    String original;
2.    String current;
3.    PFont font;
4.    void setup() {
5.    font = loadFont("CourierNew36.vlw");
6.    size(400,400);
7.    String[] original = loadStrings("nowplaying.txt");
8.    }
9.    void draw() {
10.    String[] current = loadStrings("nowplaying.txt");
11.    if (!current[0].equals(original[0])) {
12.    original = current;
13.    print(original[0]);
14.    textFont(font);
15.    text(original[0],20,200);
16.    }
17.    }
