TuneOut
TuneOut is an AppleScript application that saves the currently playing iTunes, Spotify, Nightbot or Moobot track's information to a file (~/Library/Application Support/TuneOut/np.txt, specifically). This might be useful if you use an application like OBS to stream live video and want to incorporate your currently playing song on the display.

How to use
- Download the latest version of TuneOut.app from the project's releases page and unzip the file.
- Double-click the .app file. (Depending on your Gatekeeper settings, you may have to right-click the .app file and click "Open".)
- Point your OBS text-as-file location to ~/Library/Application Support/TuneOut/np.txt, where ~ consists of your User folder (usually /Users/{your user name here}).
- For iTunes cover art support, point your OBS image location to ~/Library/Application Support/TuneOut/art.png.
- There is no step five!
