MusicBar

A macOS menu bar item which shows your currently playing music.

Screenshot

Compiled app bundles are available under the Releases tab.

Player Support

Currently, the only tested players are iTunes and Swinsian. It has the ability to also support Vox and Spotify, but these have not been well-tested as I do not use them.

I am welcoming any PRs to fix support for these players (if needed), as well as requests (submit an issue) to support any other player.


Developers

This is untested on anything below Python 3.7. I can guarantee this will not work without modification on anything below 3.6 due to format strings.

Do not use standard python that comes with macOS, install python ~3.7 with pip usually in /usr/local/bin/python, for example python from the brew package manager, e.g. brew install python or from the official website.

Dependencies

pyobjc, rumps and py-applescript.

Install dependencies using pipenv:
pipenv install

Building, developing and distributing

A macOS .app executable (for distribution) can be made using:
pipenv run python setup.py py2app

A macOS .app executable (for development) can be made using:
pipenv run python setup.py py2app -A

Do not distribute the development .app bundle as this is non-portable.
