Feature request: Apple Music track changes trigger

Hey @peternlewis, out of curiosity, have you ever considered adding a trigger for when the Apple Music track changes?

EventScripts.app has the ability to detect this, and I use it for a variety of things, but I was wondering if this was something you had or would consider.

Here's a similar thread:

I suspect that Apple Music doesn't have any public API which KM could use to create a trigger. If it did have a trigger, I think Peter would probably have used it.

In that thread, I think I provided some code (two different solutions) that tell you when a song has finished. And now that you mention this topic again, I think I'm very close to a third type of solution.

I don't know of any API or notification that the system would send in such case.

Keyboard Maestro triggers are required to be virtually no ongoing CPU usage while unused.

Thanks @Airy I’ll check out that thread!

@peternlewis I figured as much, but I’ve been away from the forum quite a bit this year and wasn’t sure if I had missed something. Thanks for comfirming!
