Call For Interest: Apple Music (Darwin only, at first) Segment (and pure-Linux Spotify)

[prokopto-dev]

Hey all;

I was poking around and looking at some of the segments; I know I am using this on an OSX system, and am more than excited to be able to track the relevant things in my computing life through my prompt.
I noted we currently don't have an apple music segment. I'm tempted to build one; how much interest is there in seeing this happen?
I also noted there's no default linux (Ubuntu) Spotify build for Spotify segments... Any interest on that as well? Would anyone actually use it?

Sure, if it works. The downside on macOS is probably going to be working with AppleScript again which is slow.

Yeah; it is unfortunate that there's not much CLI-based stuff for accessing information on OSX-based apps. I am looking into methods that are a little more robust for the retrieval of information about apps, both for Windows and OSX, and if possible, Linux as well. I saw we currently poll the window title for Spotify, which while pretty straightforward, definitely makes a lot of assumptions; I also don't know if the Ubuntu version of Spotify updates the window title at all. Knowing there's a player API for websites and Apple Music, there has to be some way that the apps are accessing and interpreting that on Darwin.
