Oh, man, do I love necroing a thread, but there's really no point to creating a new one just to report on this.
After some time, I looked into this again, and it looks like the Rich Presence API was deprecated in favor of the Game SDK Activity functionality (which means it's likely to be even more difficult to get it to say "Listening to" instead of "Playing", which I think is stupid). The fact that MM5 is build on Chromium makes this impossible, as you'd have to be able to run native DLLs. I'm about to start work again on a C# external tie-in app, maybe I'll be able to tweak it just right, but the devs' platform of choice has ruled this out as an internal functionality (and even then, it would be a dev thing, not scriptable, most likely).
