What I'd love to do is type in a search term and select a track to play from the top online results, just like in the desktop app. Is this possible? I can navigate to a track by narrowing by artist first, but it's a much more slow and fiddly to do. Here, the top gif is with your workflow and the bottom is with the desktop app. https://imgur.com/a/KCuO74r Am I missing a simpler way to quickly find a track and play it?

Thanks for the reply. I really like FAMOS, so I just went ahead and installed P2 anyway. 👍🏼

Is there any plan to update this? It doesn't work in Monterey as they removed Python 2.

Old thread but for anyone looking for an answer, check out PlugSearch and this thread.

I'm a big Keyboard Maestro fan, so I totally understand the usefulness of variables; just never built anything complex enough to require them in Alfred. Thanks for the link - I'll get learning!

Wow! I didn't even know Alfred had a variables viewer!! Thanks! That works perfectly! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This is brilliant! Would you be able to tell me how to get the files to save straight to the desktop, rather than create a folder each time? I looked at the code block to try and change the directory but couldn't find "saved_clips".

So weird. This is still working great in most instances, but if certain apps are at the front (e.g. Audio Hijack), it says there's no image on the clipboard.

Thanks! I'll give it a go!

I have a feeling I'm being dumb, but I can't figure out if this simple thing is possible. - I invoke Alfred and type the name of a folder, which then appears in the browser results. - How do I now search that folder to return results that I can then open?

Thankyou for all your help. I'm a lot closer to the end goal now than before. Much appreciated. ♥️

That isn't necessary in the other AppleScript code, so I'm wondering what's different about the one we're now using? Given that it's two steps (copy then delete), it might mess up Finder's undo-ability, no? Regardless, I don't know how to do that, as usual. 🥴

P.S. I don't know what the tweak is, in case that wasn't evident. Any idea?

I just tried it and it's allllmost perfect. The only issue is that it copies, rather than moves the file, which I suspect is because the destination folder is on a different volume. I know it's possible to move between volumes, as the other 'move file' script I use with KM does it nicely. One little tweak and it's a home run!

Ok, I've replaced the script code and deleted Finder from the Related Apps page for the script hotkey. Now, that hotkey does something, as Alfred disappears when you trigger it, but the file doesn't move. I'd still say that's progress!
