Cannot change iTunes permissions #19

Hi, I recently upgraded my Mac to use Mojave and cmus-osx didn't seem to be working, so I uninstalled and reinstalled it. However I get the following error msg: 

╰─$ sudo ./setup.py install
Password:
cmus config directory: '/Users/jiqbal/.config/cmus/'
Disabling iTunes. Uninstall to re-enable!
chmod: Unable to change file mode on /Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS/iTunes: Operation not permitted
Installed. To enable notifications execute
set status_display_program=/Users/jiqbal/.config/cmus/cmus-osx/notify.py
in cmus.

I did some googling, but couldn't find any solution for this. The next and previous media keys work fine, but pressing pause|play opens up itunes.

Oh, forgot to add, I have looked at https://github.com/PhilipTrauner/cmus-osx/issues/11 and added export PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--enable-framework" to my .zshrc Also am using pyenv 1.2.8 and Python 3.6.5

Damn, I knew this trick would stop working at some point 😞 Please use something like noTunes until I figure out a better way to prevent iTunes from launching. 😬

What works for me is every time the OS gets upgraded I must boot into recovery mode to disable iTunes manually.

Once in recovery mode, mount the system volume and then execute: cd /Volume/MacOS (where MacOS is the name of your volume) chmod -x /Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS/iTunes

I have been doing this for quite some time actually. The setup.py never complains because the chmod is already done so it won't throw an error 😃
