itunes-remote

It provides a command‑line interface for controlling iTunes on macOS. By invoking the tool from a terminal you can start, pause, stop, skip tracks, and navigate within the current track. It also supports fuzzy searching for artists, albums, or songs and can play selections by artist or album. The interface is interactive, offering its own prompt, but commands can also be supplied directly on the command line.

The software is built on Node.js and leverages Apple’s JavaScript for Automation (JXA) through the osascript utility, requiring Node v0.12.7+ and macOS 10.10 or newer with an iTunes library present. It is distributed as an npm package and can be installed globally for system‑wide use.

Target users are developers or power users who prefer terminal‑based workflows and want to manage iTunes without opening the graphical application. The implementation is lightweight, MIT‑licensed, and integrates with the Vorpal library for command handling.
