  you can already do that without hacking anything, Spotify exposes that information through Apple Script: if application "Spotify" is running then tell application "Spotify" if player state is playing then return (get artist of current track) & " - " & (get name of current track) else return "" end if end tell end if source: https://vas3k.com/blog/touchbar/#scroll60 https://vas3k.com/blog/touchbar/#scroll60 You can also install a collection of scripts from here: https://goldenchaos.net/goldenchaos-btt.html https://goldenchaos.net/goldenchaos-btt.html You will need Better Touch Tool for that: https://folivora.ai/ https://folivora.ai/

  I used to play around with similar projects for macos, wrote an app which displays current song info in the menubar (https://github.com/danthelion/pyet https://github.com/danthelion/pyet) and a python wrapper for the applescript “api” https://github.com/danthelion/wasp https://github.com/danthelion/wasp Applescript is actually a lot of fun if you decide to look into it
