Apple::Music::Library
The apple-music-library
gem offeres a ruby interface to the information stored in an iTunes / Apple Muisic Library.xml
file, as generated by the menu option File > Library > Export Library...
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'apple-music-library'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install apple-music-library
Usage
# Create library
library = Apple::Music::Library.new('path/to/Library.xml')
# Count albums
puts library.albums.count
# Show tracks in a specific playlist
playlist = library.playlist('XTC Favorites')
playlist.tracks.each do |track|
puts track.name
end
# Count tracks by artist
artist = library.artist('XTC')
puts artist.tracks.count
# Display track counts per genre
library.genres.each do |genre|
puts "#{genre.tracks.count} #{genre.name}"
end
All stored attributes are available via snake_cased methods on Track
and Playlist
. However, note that #artist
, #album
, and #genre
are special cases, returning Ruby objects rather than their associated string values. Methods to return the string versions of these track attributes are provided as track.artist_name
, track.album_name
, and track.genre_name
.
