I've written a little applescript that takes the currently playing
song name and artist name and writes them to disk
However, I noticed that names with "odd" characters show up oddly, for
example, Björk gets saved as Bjšrk
Relevant code:
set current_song to (name of current track) as string
set current_artist to (artist of current track) as string
set write_to_disk to current_song & " - " & current_artist & return
set fileID to open for access file file_location with write permission
set eof of fileID to 0
write write_to_disk to fileID
close access fileID
