It can work if you set it up like this: Standard in: osascript -e "tell application \"iTunes\" to get current stream title" Path: /bin/sh It's possible that the -e option is difficult to sneak through. The problem I'm tackling now is how to get this command to be triggered by a change of information in iTunes, like when it starts up a new track... Please Mr QC Apple person, make all this easier! :) > On Sun, Jan 3, 2010 at 10:48 AM, peter boardman <[email protected]> wrote: > On 3 Jan 2010, at 14:22, George Toledo wrote: > > > What command are you using to get the iTunes stream title?
