let's do this, I give you almost the complete recipe, you build it as a plugin and everyone is happy
on the shell:
sudo pip install appscript python
now on the python shell:
>>> import appscript >>> itunes = appscript.app('iTunes') >>> current_track = itunes.current_track >>> current_track.name.get() u'Temporary Like Achilles' >>> current_track.artist.get() u'Bob Dylan' >>> current_track.album.get() u'Blonde on Blonde'
now fetch emesene's code, see how the other "current playing" plugins are made, create the itunes version and send us a pull request!
