Sometimes I don’t know what a particular track in my iTunes library is called. I usually know the artist and album, but mostly I know tracks by their numbers. When I can’t remember the name, I can’t think of any better way to display it than an on-demand Growl notification.
As any good scripter does before setting out to write his own, I went to Google. Sure enough Ryan Todd of plasticstare.com had written a script to do just that.
But, I wasn’t feeling the generic icon of iTunes accompanying my notifications, and I wasn’t in love with the verbosity of the notifications. So, again, like any good scripter, I modified it to suit me!
Here is my effort. All the credit for the general functionality of the script goes to Ryan. I essentially modified formatting (basically to make it more like the notifications I get from iScrobbler) and added the iTunes artwork as the image to display. Nothing too heady. As with my automatic notifications on track change, I prefer the music video Growl style for this.
Enjoy!
