I have a fairly large home office with a lot of collections in it (it doubles as a geeky man cave), and when I turn the light on (or off) I have Indigo speak some text. What I was intending to do was having fun with having certain sounds play when I turn the lights on or off in my room. Generally if I want to listen to music, I'm either already in front of my computer and can just start Music (and choose my own song) anyway, and if I'm not, I have my iPhone to do it. Here is the greater context: I wasn't intending to tie my Music app to Insteon so that I could listen to music by pushing a button on a light switch. And I only restart the computer when there are updates, which is not even once a week. I often leave my email open all the time, because I use it constantly. Which, in the case of the Music app, isn't every day.īut that is not a complete answer. I have a habit of shutting off applications I don't need right now because I don't want them just idle in the background in the event I'm in the mood to use them. I have plenty of RAM but it does get taxed, my kernal daemon goes into overdrive, and my fan comes on. I’m wondering why you shut down the Music app every time? I just leave it running in the background. Please counter with me if I'm completely wrong - but I need an example scenario that doesn't involve me having to manually reconnect with the app every single time I restart the Music application or the computer. But at its present state, I'm afraid for me it's useless. I realize there is a whole bunch of things this plugin is supposed to do, and that fixing it to keep up with Apple's changes is ongoing, and I shall monitor that.

I was experimenting with the idea of making my Music app play a PARTICULAR song when a particular Insteon button is pressed, but I can't figure out how to do that yet. I can't figure out what the value-add on tying to Insteon is. Isn't it easier for me to just open Music and click Play? Also I can control the Music app pretty well with my Remote app on the iPhone. So to use it, I have to: launch the Music app, launch the Indigo app, re-establish the connection (API?), and then I can basically toggle on and off the play feature using an Insteon button for example. My argument: I can't use the app if it keeps disconnecting and staying disconnected every time I shut down the Music app. I'm sticking with the word useless for now. My favorite feature of the latter is the ability to have indigo play a playlist, and ramp up (or down) the volume. I actually use both the standard iTunes plugin as well as the iTunes Local plugin.

I hardly think the plugin is useless as it still works when the Music app is running.
