    macOS Automator triggered by new iTunes music?

    I'd like to have an automator script run every time I add new music to iTunes. Is it possible? I tried using a Folder Action on the "iTunes Music" folder, but folder actions don't work on subfolders, so that won't do it. Any other ideas? Thanks! Pablo

    Any ideas for an iTunes alternative?

    Hey guys. I hate the new iTunes under Sierra. It seems it is just made to promote Apple Music. All the good features are gone. So I am considering to get an alternative player for my Mac. I need a small lightweight app that will play songs from my iTunes library. No need for Apple music, no...

    I think iTunes looks horrible

    I just want to share my personal opinion here because I'm not seeing anyone being upset about this yet, which I find strange.
