TrayPlay won't let me quit iTunes

[Fofer]

When TrayPlay launches on my Mac, it automatically launches iTunes. If I try to quit iTunes, it automatically relaunches.

The only way I can quit iTunes, is to first quit TrayPlay.

Any help?

OS X 10.10.3
iTunes 12.1.2.27
TrayPlay version 1.0.3

Yep. This is a bug. Thanks for reporting it!

Technical notes: It also happens with Spotify selected. This bug is caused by the way TrayPlay polls the application (i.e. iTunes, Spotify) for current status. See the update method. TrayPlay could check to see if the application is open before querying status and possibly display a message if the app is not currently open with a button to open the app and start playing.

Here's a way to check to see if an application is running:

BOOL isAppRunning(NSString *appLocalizedName)
{
    NSArray *apps = [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] runningApplications];
    for (NSRunningApplication *app in apps)
        if ([app.localizedName isEqualToString:appLocalizedName])
            return YES;
    return NO;
}
