Apple Music CLI

Use clawtunes to control Apple Music from the terminal. Search and play music, control playback, adjust volume, manage playlists, manage shuffle/repeat, browse the Apple Music catalog, and connect to AirPlay devices.

Setup

• Install (Homebrew): brew install forketyfork/tap/clawtunes
• macOS-only; requires Apple Music app.

Play Music

• Play a song: clawtunes play song "Song Name"
• Play an album: clawtunes play album "Album Name"
• Play a playlist: clawtunes play playlist "Playlist Name"
• Always use the --non-interactive (-N) flag to prevent interactive prompts: clawtunes -N play song "Song Name"
• If the command exits with code 1 and lists multiple matches, retry with a more specific song/album/playlist name.
• If a more specific name still returns multiple matches, use the --first (-1) flag to auto-select the first result: clawtunes -1 play song "Song Name"
