# Apple Music Control Apple Music via MusicKit API and AppleScript. Path: `~/.clawdbot/skills/apple-music/` ## Local (No Setup) **Playback:** `./apple-music.sh player [now|play|pause|toggle|next|prev|shuffle|repeat|volume N|song "name"]` **AirPlay:** `./apple-music.sh airplay [list|select N|add N|remove N]` ## API (Setup Required) Requires Apple Developer account ($99/yr) + MusicKit key. ### Setup **Portal steps first:** 1. developer.apple.com → Keys → Create MusicKit key → Download .p8 2. Note your Key ID and Team ID **Then run setup:** ```bash ./launch-setup.sh # Opens Terminal for interactive setup ``` The launcher opens Terminal.app and runs the setup script there. Enter your .p8 path, Key ID, Team ID, then authorize in browser and paste the token. **⚠️ Agents:** Always use `./launch-setup.sh` to open Terminal. Don't run setup.sh through chat (requires interactive input). ### Commands - `search "query" [--type songs|albums|artists] [--limit N]` - `library add <song-id>` - `playlists [list|create "Name"|add <playlist-id> <song-id>]` ### Config `config.json` stores tokens (valid ~6 months). Re-run `./setup.sh` if auth fails. ### Errors - 401: Token expired, re-run setup - 403: Check Apple Music subscription - 404: Invalid ID or region-locked ### Setup Issues - **404 on auth page:** Setup script auto-fixes with HTTP server verification - **No token in browser:** Restart setup.sh - **Browser won't open:** Manually open printed URL (Chrome recommended)
