Cross-Player Behavior
- Starting Apple Music automatically pauses Spotify (play, toggle, shuffle, search, playlist)
- The Spotify skill similarly pauses Apple Music when triggered
- This prevents both players fighting over audio output
Prerequisites
- macOS with Music.app (built-in)
- No additional installs needed — uses
osascript
