Music Volume Control – How to Control Volume Based on ‘Now Playing’ on macOS

automationmacosmusicsound-volumespotify

I'd like the Mac to mute itself when there's an ad on Spotify. It comes in a pair, 30 seconds each. I now have to hit mute button, then guess if a minute is over yet and then unmute it. Solid distraction.

I think that this info: "Advertisement" in music title could be used. But I don't know if it is accessible by any means in AppleScript.

Some task/ process/ job which I turn on while opening Spotify, which would be monitoring the Song title and then trigger mute and unmute after 60 seconds would do.

Please get me started on this.

I figured a simple solution. Saved this script & put it in user scripts folder. 

tell application "System Events"
    set volume 0
    delay 30
    set volume 2
end tell
