Tmux plugin that shows the current music status for Spotify, Apple Music, or iTunes in your statusline
Introduces the following new status variables:
#{music_status}#{artist}#{album}#{track}
The following interpolations are made available for your statusline:
#{music_status}- Spotify status icons#{artist}- Current artist#{album}- Current album#{track}- Current track
Here's the example in .tmux.conf:
set -g status-right "♫ #{music_status} #{artist}: #{track} | %a %h-%d %H:%M "
Customize the icons with:
set -g @spotify_playing_icon ">"
set -g @spotify_paused_icon "="
# optional: defaults to `paused_icon`
set -g @spotify_stopped_icon "X"
By default Spotify is used as the media source. iTunes or Apple Music can be used by setting MUSIC_APP in
your bashrc
# set tmux-spotify to use Apple Music instead of Spotify
export MUSIC_APP="Music"
set MUSIC_APP to iTunes instead on macOS<Catalina
