    Feature: Add flag to run one command and exit right away

    It would be nice to have a flag when running itunes-remote to tell it to just perform the specified command and exit, say if you just want to quickly pause or stop playback.

    Feature Request: List songs that have been added to temporary playlist

    When searching for an album or artist I'd like to see the name of the songs that have been added. Right now I have to either trust the fuzzy search or go into iTunes to verify that the correct Songs have been added, which defeats the purpose of using iTunes-remote. Also a list command to list the upcoming songs (or just the content of the temporary playlist)

  • Feature: Search in Apple Music

    Feature: Search in Apple Music

    Thanks for this nice piece of software, It would be awesome if search included results from Apple Music, and not only tracks that are in user's library

    Would it be possible ?
