How to access the Spotify Artist & Song Title data from another application with the SDK ?

How to access the Spotify Artist & Song Title data from another application with the SDK ?

I was wondering if it is possible, while listening to a track on Spotify (Web Player or Desktop App), to access the Artist & Song Title info of the track currently played as it is displayed at the bottom-left corner of the Spotify window (horizontal scrolling) from another application and how.

Application Example
I wish to write a very simple Windows program which, when launched, will open a Command Prompt window and display :
            You are currently listening to < Artist - Song Title > on Spotify.

Writing such an application supposes to be able to extract this Artist & Song Title data for the current track from Spotify in real time. Is this possible ?

Environment :  Windows

Programming language :  C / C++ or other


Could someone possibly help ?
