Set picture from current album?
Interesting hint. But I have another challenge! I tend to let OS X pick randomly through my huge wallpaper folder, but it'd be really handy if that could get replaced or overlaid by iTunes artwork whenever I'm playing music. Anyone know if that's possible without paid-for software or extracting out all the artwork stored in all my MP3 and AAC files?
Set picture from current album?
I googled a bit and came up with this script to save artwork to a folder. It does the heavy lifting of getting the image of the current song.
http://www.dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts13.php?page=1#saveartworktofolder This doesn't do everything you want, but you could combine this to easily set your desktop picture to the current album. Just save out the current song art, then execute any of these "set desktop" scripts. Now if you want to overlay this on the current desktop image, that's more work. You'd need to find some scriptable solution to combine the files (there are many, Image Magik comes to mind). I think I've seen a few hints about doing something like that. Or you could use GeekTool (it has a setting for picture). Of course you'd have to get something to be notifed when iTunes switched songs. Or you can just poll every so many seconds. --- |
