deezer-cli

Introduction

deezer-cli is a command line interface to Deezer. It consumes the ability of AppleScript on OSX to send JavaScript commands to any Safari instance.

In the current setup Deezer is set as the second tab in Safari. Therefore, any command will target the second tab of the first Safari instance AppleScript will get hold on. The number of the tab can be changed in the deezer shellscript itself.
