trackupdate polls Apple Music every 10 seconds for information about the currently playing track and hands this information to target plugins to perform various tasks. The currently included plugins are:

• StdioTarget - Prints the current artist and track to stdout (aka "the terminal")
• AudioHijackTarget - Places the current track info into Audio Hijack's "NowPlaying.txt" file
• LadioCastTarget - Updates the metadata in Ladiocast using Applescript
• ListFileTarget - Creates some text files which can easily be pasted into Mediawiki and HTML, and also creates a simple track list text file
• SlackTarget - Posts track info into a Slack channel
• TwitterTarget - Posts each track's artist and name to a twitter account specified in the .rc file. Requires that python-twitter is installed (http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/)

trackupdate and some of its plugins require configuration data, which is stored in a file named ~/.trackupdaterc. See example-trackupdaterc for details on the various configuration options.

While this script is running, you may notice a persistent bouncing dock icon for python. This annoyed me, so I removed it by editing:

/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Resources/Python.app/Contents/Info.plist

and adding the following key to the tag: NSUIElement 1

Make Backblaze target so it's not hardcoded to jpegs

Right now we use a field in the rcfile to determine the default cover image path. This is ok, but it should default to a pattern or even the current date or something.

Check that file exists before uploading to Backblaze

If the file on disk does not exist, we shit the bed with a stack trace. Also, a failure here should not crash the application.

Line of interest: https://github.com/grahams/trackupdate/blob/8dd9bc3249e517b30e581fa801ee6e68e323522d/plugins/BackblazeTarget.py#L78
