# textFlow

textFlow is an ruby script for OS X that talks to iTunes via AppleScript and

converts the current track's album art into ASCII for display in a terminal.

## Requirements

You'll need to use [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/) to install ImageMagick

and jp2a:

    brew install jp2a imagemagick

You'll also need to install the appscript gem:

    gem install rb-appscript

or

    bundle install

## Operation

Start the program:

    ./textFlow.rb

Then:

- switch between songs with the arrow keys

- pause and play with the `space`

- mute and unmute (100% volume) with down and up keys

- save current album art to artwork with `s`

- quit with `q`
