Apple Music Player
Overview
Play a random track from the Music app's local library by artist, album, or playlist, using a bundled script that wraps AppleScript and handles errors.
Quick Start
- Artist:
scripts/play_random_music.sh --artist "JAY-Z" - Album:
scripts/play_random_music.sh --album "TRON: Ares" - Playlist:
scripts/play_random_music.sh --playlist "My Favorites" - Track:
scripts/play_random_music.sh --track "Rock the Boat" --artist "XG" - Foreground (optional): append
--foregroundto bring Music to front.
Behavior Notes
- Operates on the local Music library only; it does not search Apple Music.
- Artist, album, and track matching use "contains" so partial names work.
- Playlist matching requires an exact playlist name.
- Performance path keeps Music in background by default; use
--foregroundonly when needed.
Workflow
- Prefer using the script in
scripts/rather than retyping AppleScript. - If no matches are found, surface the script's error message to the user.
- If the user needs Apple Music search/playback, ask them to add the album or track to the Library first.
