About macsig
macsig is an AppleScript Studio application written to communicate with ampsig (an "ampsig data client"). It monitors iTunes, reporting changes in status and song. It can optionally send data such as the current application, user, or computer uptime as well.
Keeping Data Current |
|
 |
macsig has two methods for keeping ampsig updated with the most current data from your computer: automatic updates and forced updates. macsig will update ampsig whenever iTunes' status changes, but in certain situations you might want to force updates at a specific time interval. |
Sending Arbitrary Data |
|
 |
ampsig stores arbitrary data you provide. You can customize what data macsig sends to change the appearance of the image generated by ampsig. |
Variable Replacement |
|
{name} {lastplayed} |
macsig offers a high level of customization, allowing you to enter predefined variables (in the form of {variable_name}). When macsig sends data to ampsig, it replaces this text with corresponding "live" data. |
