I seem to be having a problem with trying to play Apple Music. It shuts down the script. Do I need to edit the script in some way?

Hi there,

I've recently taken this script and significantly revamped it, fixing bugs, adding support for more players (Spotify, Nightbot and Moobot) and simplified it to the point where it's significantly easier to use.

You can find my version over here:

Thank you!
