Control iTunes playback and library from your terminal using a Node.js CLI.
What is itunes-remote?
itunes-remote is a Node.js command-line tool that lets you control iTunes playback and library management from your terminal. It uses Apple's JavaScript for Automation (JXA) to interact with iTunes, enabling features like play, pause, search, and more without a graphical interface. The tool solves the need for quick, scriptable control over iTunes directly from the command line.
Mac users and developers who frequently use the terminal and want to control iTunes without switching to the GUI. It's ideal for those who prefer keyboard shortcuts, automation scripts, or a streamlined workflow.
Developers choose itunes-remote for its simplicity, interactive prompt, and scriptability, offering a native macOS integration that other CLI music tools lack. Its use of JXA ensures reliable and direct control over iTunes, making it a lightweight alternative to GUI-based controls.
