Open/search Spotify track in Apple Music (with Applescript)

had a similar problem right now and quickly hacked it out. In my case I want to simply trigger a search on the Music app.

Opened Automator and created a new "Service".

Workflow receives current > "Text" > in "every application".

Here's the AppleScript:

on run {input, parameters} tell application "Music" activate end tell tell application "System Events" tell process "Music" set window_name to name of front window set value of text field 1 of UI element 1 of row 1 of outline 1 of splitter group 1 of window window_name to input keystroke "" key code 36 end tell end tell return input end run 

I saved it as "Find on Music" in Automator and now I can select text, right click > Service > Find on Music and Music plops open and shows me the results for the selected text. I hope you can use some parts of it.

I just figured out how to pass text from wherever to the search field in Music, with help from daemon's answer, which no longer works. This should work for what you want to do in conjunction with what you have.

Replace your "open location" line with a variable name for your concatenated string. Add this code below yours and pass that variable in place of 'input' (in my case 'input' is text from any application, which I use to select text of an artist name in an email/webpage/message that I want to send to Music's search).

First it checks to see if the main Music window is open vs the MiniPlayer, and open it if not to enable search via cmd-O, the cmd-F to find, then passes the input and hits return:

tell application "Music" activate end tell tell application "System Events" if not (exists (window "Music" of process "Music")) then tell process "Music" keystroke "0" using command down end tell end if tell process "Music" keystroke "f" using command down keystroke input key code 36 end tell end tell 

So, something like this (I don't have Spotify to check that section, but this should work assuming your code there is correct):

tell application "Spotify" if player state is not stopped then set currentArtist to artist of current track as string set currentTrack to name of current track as string set spotTrack to currentArtist & " " & currentTrack end if end tell tell application "Music" activate end tell tell application "System Events" if not (exists (window "Music" of process "Music")) then tell process "Music" keystroke "0" using command down end tell end if tell process "Music" keystroke "f" using command down keystroke spotTrack key code 36 end tell end tell 

The only thing I couldn't figure out is how to check if the search field is already in focus, because if it is, the cmd-F causes a system alert sound. Generally not an issue as typically you'll search and interact with something else before running this script again, so calling it good. :)
