Apple Music Discord Rich Presence

A lightweight, efficient, and automated Discord Rich Presence integration for Apple Music on Windows.

Overview

This application provides real-time status updates on Discord, displaying the currently playing track on Apple Music or iTunes. It is designed to be highly resource-efficient and strictly filters out other media applications to ensure accurate presence information.

Features

• Strict Detection: Accurately identifies Apple Music and iTunes, ignoring other media players such as Chrome or Spotify.
• Album Artwork: Automatically retrieves high-resolution album covers using the iTunes API.
• Playback Timeline: Displays the elapsed and remaining time for the current track.
• Optimized Performance: Maintains a minimal resource footprint, utilizing less than 1% CPU and approximately 60MB RAM.
• Enhanced Stability: Automatically truncates excessively long track titles to prevent Discord API errors.
• Process Management: Includes batch scripts for convenient startup and process termination.
