Example 1 - Playback Control

import PyXA
app = PyXA.Application("Music")

# Play/Pause/Stop/Resume
app.play()
app.pause()
app.stop()
app.playpause()

# Fast-forward/Rewind
app.fast_forward()
app.rewind()
app.resume()

Example 2 - Add Current Track to a Playlist

import PyXA
app = PyXA.Music()

# Gather info about current track
title = app.current_track.name
artist = app.current_track.artist
album = app.current_track.album

# Save track to library
library = app.sources().by_name("Library")
app.current_track.duplicate(library)

# Get the saved track object
saved_track = app.tracks().filter("name", "==", title).filter("artist", "==", artist).by_album(album)

# Add track to playlist
playlist = app.playlists().by_name("test")
saved_track.move(playlist)

Example 3 - Make a Playlist of Tracks in a Given Genre

import PyXA
app = PyXA.Music()

# Get a list of all soundtrack tracks
soundtracks = app.tracks().filter("genre", "==", "Soundtrack")

# Create a new playlist
prototype = app.make("playlist", {"name": "Soundtracks"})
new_playlist = app.playlists().push(prototype)

# Add soundtracks to the new playlist
new_playlist.add_tracks(soundtracks)
