ylluminate Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) Now with the inability use (the awesome) SizzlingKeys with Music in Catalina, we need the ability to have Skip Backward & Skip Forward for Music/iTunes such that a simple key combo can activate it. Here's how it was set in SizzlingKeys: Screenshot Edited January 6, 2020 by ylluminate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 @ylluminate This is possible with Alfred's Powerpack and a workflow. If you fill in your Powerpack address in your forum profile, I'll go into more details of how to go about this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ylluminate Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) Hey thanks! I took a step back and reevaluated the situation after Music.app ATE my converted music library. I did some digging and found Retroactive and thus am now running iTunes 12.9.5.5 on Catalina until Apple can rectify its cranial-rectal relationship... It appears that this has given SizzlingKeys a little more life now and I'm back to enjoying it's full and robust functionality until Apple finally get's things right. Overall I'm finding SizzlingKeys to be even more responsive / faster with iTunes at playing and acting on key input than Alfred was in my initial go with Music.app. I'm sure I'll be back down the road once the Apple-ocalypse has gone past the event horizon...

Andrew Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 For future reference, and Alfred's support, check that Alfred has Automation selected for iTunes in the macOS Prefs > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Automation > Alfred > iTunes. If it's already selected, perhaps try quitting Alfred, then unticking and re-ticking iTunes. Cheers, Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chq Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 (edited) I am missing skipping 10 seconds backward and forward so much, too. Hope, Alfred can bring us this amazing functionality of the old Sizzling Keys back! Would love it so much!

Can't find a possibility to do this inside Alfred so far. Greetz Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 @Chq This will be very easy with a simple workflow. Assuming you have Music.app, Install this workflow and set the hotkeys you'd like on the two hotkey triggers. https://www.dropbox.com/s/yslwh1b3rvzozxj/Skip Music.alfredworkflow?dl=1 If you have and older OS and iTunes, you'll need to edit the two Run Script actions and change "Music" to "iTunes".
