AppleScript to play Beats 1?

Hello all,

Is there a AppleScript to play the Beats 1 radio station? I’m having trouble figuring this out, as I am far from a AppleScript expert.

Basically, I want to duplicate the functionality of the blue “Listen in iTunes” button on this page. I want Beats 1 to play no matter where I am in iTunes (such as podcasts for example) or even if I am in another app.

I’ve tried figure out the URL on that webpage, trying the following:

tell application "iTunes" to open location "idra.978194965”

tell application "iTunes" to open location "https://itunes.apple.com/us/station/beats-1/idra.978194965"

tell application "iTunes" to play (first track of playlist "Radio" whose name contains “Beats")

tell application "iTunes" to play (first track of playlist "Radio" whose name contains “idra.978194965”)

…but they don’t work. I’ve tried to dig into the iTunes AppleScript dictionary, but I’m lost.

Thanks for any help!

Sincerely,

Jim
