I have an AppleScript which retrieves several properties of the current track playing on apple music but I can't retrieve the artwork
if application "Music" is running then
tell application "Music"
if player state is playing or player state is paused then
set currentTrack to current track
return {get player state} & {get artist of currentTrack} & {get name of currentTrack} & {get album of currentTrack} & {get kind of currentTrack} & {get duration of currentTrack} & {player position} & {get genre of current track} & {get id of current track}
else
return "stopped"
end if
end tell
else
return "stopped"
end if
This is very simple i just couldn't find it, so Doug made a very simple script that you can find here and that i reworked a bit it save the current track artwork to the same location as the script and name it tmp.jpg or png
tell application "Music"
try
if player state is not stopped then
set alb to (get album of current track)
tell artwork 1 of current track
if format is JPEG picture then
set imgFormat to ".jpg"
else
set imgFormat to ".png"
end if
end tell
set rawData to (get raw data of artwork 1 of current track)
else
return
end if
on error
display dialog "Problem getting track info." buttons {"OK"}
return
end try
end tell
--get current path
tell application "Finder"
set current_path to container of (path to me) as alias
end tell
--create path to save image as jpg or png
set newPath to ((current_path as text) & "tmp" & imgFormat) as text
try
--create file
tell me to set fileRef to (open for access newPath with write permission)
--overwrite existing file
write rawData to fileRef starting at 0
tell me to close access fileRef
on error m number n
log n
log m
try
tell me to close access fileRef
end try
end try
