How It Works

The app uses Windows Media Transport Controls to detect what's playing in Apple Music. When a track is detected:

1. Track info is read from the system media session
2. Album artwork is uploaded to catbox.moe for Discord display
3. Track is matched against iTunes/Last.fm for accurate metadata
4. Discord Rich Presence is updated via the official API
5. Optional: Track is scrobbled to Last.fm with the correct artist/title

Troubleshooting

Discord status not showing

1. Make sure Discord is running
2. Enable "Display current activity" in Discord Settings > Activity Privacy
3. Check that Apple Music is playing (not paused)

Album art not showing

The app tries multiple sources:

1. Direct upload from Apple Music thumbnail
2. iTunes Search API
3. Last.fm API fallback

Apple Music not detected

1. Make sure Apple Music is from the Microsoft Store
2. Music must be actively playing (not paused)
3. Try restarting both Apple Music and this app

Privacy

• Only reads music metadata (title, artist, album, artwork)
• Album artwork uploaded to catbox.moe for Discord display
• Last.fm scrobbling is optional and sends data only to Last.fm
• No analytics or telemetry collected
