I am a fanatical Vim user who listens to iTunes frequently while working. But I don't see the point of this.
It takes very little time for me to switch spaces and click to change playlists, and I only need to do that a few times per day. Why clutter my Vim config with another plugin? Why claim valuable key bindings, both in my config and in my brain, for something I can already do well enough?
I'm not trying to be overly critical; if you like this, use it. But to me it feels like "let's order pizza from Vim!" or "let's compose symphonies in Vim!"

- masterzora 15y agoYour use case and mine, for example, are different. I generally am not a fan of playlists, personally. Occasionally, but not often, I'll want to listen to the same set of tracks again but more often I want a new mix every time. Worse than that, I don't know an hour from now what I'll want to listen to so I find that I generally can only fill out a playlist a couple songs at a time. Since I need to manipulate my now playing often, having the ability to do so through vim would be basically godlike. Now, if only it worked for a media player I actually used :/
