This repository is forked from Amir Zamani's cmus-osx. Originaly he used eyeD3 for displaying album art. eyeD3 does not support m4a audio file type. So I changed some code of his work to display album art of m4a files. I replaced eyeD3 with mutagen package to support m4a as well as mp3.

cmus-osx is a tiny utility to mate cmus^note and the media keys of a Mac and OS X notification center.

vim-cmus is a sister project for nvim/vim integration of cmus.

links media keys of a Mac to cmus:

optionally, links cmus to OS X notification center (by installing 3rdparty dependencies, the album art will also be displayed):

after cloning this repository, simply find setup.py:

$> git clone https://github.com/azadkuh/cmus-osx
$> cd cmus-osx

# on cmus-osx directory
$cmus-osx/> ./setup.py install

# to uninstall
$cmus-osx/> ./setup.py uninstall

the default installation path is /usr/local/bin. to install on another location simply pass your path:

# install on a custom directory
$cmus-osx/> ./setup install /opt/bin

on your terminal, just launch cmus-osx.py instead of cmus:

$> cmus-osx.py

now everything (media keys and notification center) should just works.

in order to use cmus-osx you need:

• OS X (a Mac machine) and cmus! to install cmus just use brew or consult cmus installation

• pyobjc as python and objective-c bridge.

$> pip install -U pyobjc

more info on installing pyobjc

• optionally mutagen for displaying the album art of the current songs.

$> pip install mutagen
