b119: iTunes Commands and Examples

[Vero]

We've just released b119 and spent most of the afternoon getting ridiculously excited over the latest additions. You can now create hotkey and keyword based iTunes actions.

 

 

These include:

• Hotkey to start playing a random album and post the details of it to Notification Centre
• Rate track as ★★★★★ and post to Notification Centre
• Clear the rating
• And my favourite... "currenttrack" keyword to show what song's playing at the moment

Update to b119 and you can create your own too

Hi Vero, is this workflow available to download?

[tsvoronos]

Never mind, these sure are easy to make!

Jeez, I feel stupid asking this Vero, but where is the itunes command variable for showing the current track playing?  The only command options I see are play/pause, next, previous, rating or clearing ratings.  There's no option for displaying the current track though.  Obviously I'm doing something wrong.

Don’t pick any of them and it should work.

Yeah, thanks Carlos.  I stupidly had the keyword set to require an argument without realising!  Works now.  Appreciate the feedback.

Great. But I think a “Current track” item would be better.
