Display iTunes artwork on the Desktop via GeekTool
Authored by: muzak75 on Apr 12, '06 06:24:29AM

I had to run the script by doubleclicking it before the artwork showed up on the desktop. Still don't have any text... Any ideas what's wrong??

Otherwise, this looks like it will be quite nice.

The text is displayed using a different script from this Hint:

I've also notice that sometimes the script seems to stall, doesn't show artwork but haven't been able to figure out why yet.

it hasn't quite worked yet. It worked the first time I double-clicked on the script. Since then, even after a reboot, it's showing the artwork from the first song with no change. I've noticed in the iTunes Artwork folder in Pictures that the "from iTunes" PICT isn't updated. Don't know what that means.

Yeah, i had this problem too. Turns out the "image events" tell part needs the comand "launch" at the beginning. So...

Tell application "image events"
Launch

etc.
