This AppleScript workflow detects if a song is being played on Apple Music or Spotify, then extracts the names of both the artist and the song, composes a string using a template and copies it to your clipboard.

This is the template used to compose the final string. The URL will only appear if the song is played on Spotify.

♬ <SONG_NAME> - <ARTIST_NAME>  → <URL>

To obtain the Apple Music URL, I haven't found any other way than using an Apple shortcut that achieves the magic and copies the link to the clipboard. You can download it from this iCloud link.

🤦‍♂️ Apple Music doesn't always find the current track link because, you know, it's Apple.

1. Download the linked shortcut and add it to your shortcuts library.
2. Download the .alfredworkflow file or get it from the dist/ folder, double click it, and add it to your workflows.
3. Link the appropriate script based on whether you are using Spotify or Apple Music.
4. Check that the new shortcut is properly linked in the workflow, and that's it. You are good to go!

1. Play some of your stuff on Apple Music or Spotify.
2. Launch Alfred, type now, hit enter and as soon as you see the Done! alert, the composed string should be in your clipboard ;)
3. Enjoy!
