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 --foreground to 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 --foreground only when needed.

Workflow

  1. Prefer using the script in scripts/ rather than retyping AppleScript.
  2. If no matches are found, surface the script's error message to the user.
  3. If the user needs Apple Music search/playback, ask them to add the album or track to the Library first.
