Music App Triggering A Script

[sepulchra]

I'm guessing this might not be possible, but I would like to trigger two different scripts in a workflow when a new track starts in the Music app. Is this possible?

The hard step is detecting when Music.app changes the track. Either Music.app would need to send some kind of catchable event whenever that happens (I don’t think it does) or you’d need to have a bespoke external tool constantly querying the playing track (e.g. via AppleScript) and do your own matching (very inefficient).

Yes, I had a feeling it would involve constant polling of the app and that doesn't seem like a good approach.
