Get Artwork of current iTunes track

I searched all over the web and this site to understand how to get the artwork of the current iTunes track. any suggestion? thanks

Solution

  • You can generate iTunes.h using the following command:

    sdef /Applications/iTunes.app | sdp -fh --basename iTunes

    You can then use iTunes to get the current playing track:

    #import "iTunes.h"

iTunesApplication *app = [SBApplication applicationWithBundleIdentifier:@"com.apple.iTunes"];
iTunesTrack *currentTrack = app.currentTrack;

    Then get the album artwork for the current track:

    SBElementArray *artworks = [currentTrack artworks];
iTunesArtwork *artwork = artworks[0];
