Goal: Program meant to pull the currently playing media file in either of the iTunes or Spotify applications and post it as a local notification.
Personally, I like to know the current song playing. I know the music in my library, but if I'm working on a task, I prefer to have glanceable information. I had always wanted this feature, but it wasn't native. That's why I decided to attempt to write the feature myself. I couldn't integrate it directly with iTunes, but that obstacle actually became a cool opportunity. I could work to add compatibility with music services other than iTunes.
Current features: iTunes and Spotify support
WIP... ideas:
Add support for album artwork so that the graphic will be shown instead of the application icon in the notification alert.
Refactor a few files to reflect support for Spotify and not just iTunes.
Planning to add ability to also show notifications for other applications
- Rdio's app doesn't have a proper API at time of writing. Might try to find a workaround of some sort.
