Apple Music #2

Is there any way to enable this application to work with Apple Music? The widget is able to get the current song if you add it to "My Music" but if you try to get it through Apple Music without adding it to My Music you get the error " ~ ~ iTunes got an error: Can’t get data of artwork 1 of current track."

Hey, I played for a couple of minutes with Apple Music and I didn't get issues with the artwork of any of the songs, radios and other things I tried but I will keep testing and if I can't figure it out I will add an error handler so that you get a default image for the ones that could not be loaded. I will post an update and things are ready.

Thanks for letting me know about this issue.

I'm seeing this one too - no artwork, but the buttons still work. Nice work so far! Really hoping this issue is resolved soon.

When you are using iTunes Radio or their payed services?

Paid services - iTunes Music

Thanks, I will look into how iTunes sends the artwork. When you use the widget do you see the placeholder or does the image completely disappear?

4fthawaiian commented 8 years ago

it definitely still shows the placeholder - thanks for looking into this!

It's looking like iTunes 12 doesn't expose track info for Apple Music tracks via the Applescript API. I wonder why? Maybe just an oversight, since I'm doubtful that many people internally at Apple care much about AppleScript support.
