I'm trying to return the information of the current iTunes Track, which is playing on my computer.
I can get single informations like this:
tell application "iTunes" get name of current track end tell This returns Thunderstruck for example.
But is it possible that I can get more information of the current track so it returns something like this:
"AC/DC, Thunderstruck, Iron Man 2" Is this possible? Or do I have to create multiple scripts?
Thanks
To get name, artist and album
tell application "iTunes" get {name, artist, album} of current track end tell The result is a list
To get everything
tell application "iTunes" get properties of current track end tell The result is a record
In case you are using JXA, then:
// File: GetTrackInfo.jxa const appMusic = Application("com.apple.Music"); const currentTrack = appMusic.currentTrack(); const properties = currentTrack.properties() // Get track info as a JSON console.log(JSON.stringify(properties, null, 2)) // Get certain track info property. console.log(properties.name) // File: GetTrackInfoAndCopyToClipboard.jxa const currentApp = Application.currentApplication(); currentApp.includeStandardAdditions = true; const appMusic = Application("com.apple.Music"); const currentTrack = appMusic.currentTrack(); const result = `${currentTrack.artist()} - ${currentTrack.name()} @ ${currentTrack.album()}`; console.log(`Result: ${result}`); // Bonus, copying track into into Clipboard and sending notification. currentApp.setTheClipboardTo(result); currentApp.displayNotification(result);
