I am trying to write a script that deletes tracks in the Library. But I can't find a clean way to specify a track. In my script, I have a list that contains the database id's of tracks I want to delete, but the only way I can find to do that is with:set theTrack to some track whose databas...

I wish to burn an mp3 disk from my iTunes collection which contains both AAC and mp3 files. Of course iTunes won't burn the AAC files.Is there a script or program that I can use to convert AAC files to mp3 on the fly so I can write the disk without having to manually convert a lot of files b...

Hello -new member here-I am receiving the above mentioned error when trying to import AAC audio files from my ipod, using the Import Selected iPod tracks to iTunes script by Paul Davis. The script is creating the templists in the ipod, but then I receive the error message.Im running Mac OS X 10.2.7...

Panther has a cool feature that allows you to set keyboard shortcuts for pretty much any application, including iTunes. However, one thing I discovered is that you can set keyboard shortcuts to the AppleScripts in your iTunes Scripts Menu. Simply follow the instructions in Mac Help for setting keybo...

I've been looking for a applescript that i could store in my applescript menu item directory to easily take highlighted or clipboarded text and move it into the NOTES folder on a mounted ipod.I'd assume that the script would ask for a descriptive name upon the SAVE so that it would show in...

Is there any way for the CDDB Safari Kit to access the actual artist name for each track if the CD is a compilation? It appears to only grab 1 name.

My Library location was on a drive called local volumes - MP3 Drive and that is in the path of the xml file. That MP3 Drive is now a folder located on a drive called Hard Drive 2. I directed iTunes to the new location in "Advanced", but unfortunately the path where iTunes thinks the files are is inc...

Several users have emailed me over the past few days reporting that, upon updating to iTunes 4.1, the script no longer works and reports an error.After having spent some time with it, I'm not any closer to a real solution, because I'm stumped.In specific, these two lines of code result in...

I live in a dorm, with many shared iTunes libraries available on our local network. I would like to make an applescript which denies acess to any computer which is not sharing up thier own library. Does this seem feasable? My first problem is that I can not see any way for Applescript to access inf...

27 gigs in iTunes library don't fit into a 20 gig iPod.Check/uncheck files whenever I feel like changing what music I carry with me. Getting tired of the "not enough room" error then waiting to try again after unchecking more songs.Is there a script to tell me the total filesize of those songs...

This is beyond my ken, but I was wondering if any scripters out there had any idea on how to automate linking to songs in the ITMS? I'm sure that someone clever enough scripting Safari could pull it off; Apple's provided all the backend with the iTunes Music Store Link-Maker ( http://phobos...

hi guys,i?d thought i?d mention what kind of things we win users would like to have and you guys can maybe look into it?! ;) :)here?s one (i?ll be adding more as i can think of them):how can you assign cd artwork to multiple songs at the same time?it would make the most sense to assign it to the alb...

Is there a way to script the changing of the 'iTunes Music Folder Location'.I can't find a reference to it in the iTunes Applescript Dictionary.I'd like to create a simple script to be able to point it to the local folder or an external drive on a server. The actual library file...

Anyone know if the windows version is scriptable ?, not applescript obviously but what about visual basic or some such ?Doug, you going to carry windows versions of scripts ? might need to dust down virtual pc and start converting stuff ;) "DJ Cheese" is let loose on the Windows world :eek:...

New playlist property shared. Set a user playlist to be shared on your local network. You can get it anytime, but if "Share my music" is NOT checked, you get a file permission error when trying to set--at least, I got an error.New application properties current stream URL and current stream title, i...

I need a way to change all of the EQ settings of every song to None, without doing it by hand. Thanks

I remember seeing a script that did that a long time ago, however at that time I wasnt on a mac, so I dont know where to find it now. Anyone can get it to me? or know where I can get it? THANX!

Well, my skills in Applescript are now a little better. Thanks everyone for the help with the strings, Cocoa and Applescript do work nicely together, but in that instance Cocoa managed to forget what an array was...even though its a programmed function. Whoops?Anyways, I have been doing stuff like r...

Howdy all.I've got this great idea for an iTunes script (or AppleScript Studio application perhaps). Hopefully someone else is working on it right now. There are one or two similar script apps out there already, but none adequately fulfill the task I seek as yet. (If something like this current...

i saw on "doug's applescript for itunes site" that you can set the volume in itunes via applescrtip. :eek: does anyone know how to use this over a period of prespecified time? i would like to set itunes to fade out over a 10 minute period, a 30 min period, ect..please let me know if you have a...

Hi there,I'm a complete newbie at this.. and struggling a bitI'm busy trying to create a script to back up iTunes info that's not stored in the id3 tag to the comments field - namely Rating, Playlist, and some sort of Keywords. Why you ask? Well because it takes hours to put in and if...

Hello, I've been using versions of this great script for a long time: "rename files" I'm now using version 1.2.1. It still does what it's supposed to do, but with the addition of .m4a files, things get complicated. If we rename an .m4a file with an .mp3 extension, iTunes doens't...

I've searched the forums but can't find any information on whether or not there's a utility available to compare my iPod files to those on my hardrive. When I first purchased my iPod I had limited space on my computer's hardrive to store my files so I deleted songs from my hardri...

I am testing a new version of Rename Files and would appreciate volunteers for beta testing. (Since the new version is OSX only, OSX is required.) If you are interested, please send me and email (rename-files-beta [at] plaidcow.net).New features are mainly under the hood including splitting function...

Since iTunes can accept multiple "genre" keywords, can someone write a script that will:1. Accept a genre keyword (i.e. "Single") to apply to a set of selected songs2. Apply "Single" keyword to 'Genre' ID3 tag if none exist3. Apply ", Single" to keywords that already exist in the tag.i...

I'm using "Append to Selected Tag" to mass-tag my files; this will allow me to make more creative Smart Playlists. It worked great on iTunes, and my Smart Playlists are doing just what I want there.However, the Smart Playlists aren't giving me the results I want on the iPod, and I finally...

Howdy folks.I'm not sure if this is the appropriate forum, but I'd like some help in programming my iPod to accomplish a strange task. In less than a month I'm planning on running a marathon. This means I'll be on the road for at least 4.5 hours and possibly longer. Of course,...

Is there any Applescript way to move the highlighted row to the track that is currently playing? I can't see any way to control which row is highlighted in a playlist. Maybe I'm missing something obvious. Thanks, Philip.

Hello,I am writting a script and while it works properly, i was wanting to add some features so that it is more user friendly.The main issue is that i have a loop that goes through the library and creates a list of all the albums in the library. The problem is that if you have 200 songs it isnt an i...

I have just begun using "ripped?" to help determine if a track is already being used on a playlist.But the script is set up such that it reviews all playlists & for my purpose, I only what to review a particular set of playlists--namely those devoted to one artist, Bob Dylan.Does anybody know how to...

Hi thereThe applescript "CDDB Tracks to iTunes Safari" applies the names in the reverse order!That is, in a say, 12 track playlist, track 1 is given the name of track 12, and track 12 is given the name of track 1.Is anyone else having this problem?CheersBongoMan...

When I add new MP3s to my library, is it possible to automatically run an applescript? I like to have all my ID3 tags set to v2.3 and want any MP3s I add to my collection to automatically be set to v2.3 tags. Is this possible via applescript?

http://www.malcolmadams.com/itunes/index.shtmlincludes instructions for scripting iTunes with iCal.Being a luddite, I have resisted the apps such as iCal that are designed to drive users toward .Mac; I'd rather schedule via cron.Finally, in looking over the script library I did not find many sc...

A few months ago I had moved my iTunes library to an external drive. I left the original files on my system's hard drive until now just in case I had any problems with the external drive (which I have in the past). When I deleted some of the files on my system drive to make space it resulted...

Sometimes I tweak the EQ just right for a certain song, and it would be great if the EQ settings "saved" themselves to that song if desired.It is possible to name the EQ you have set up, and then got to the Info for that song, and under Options, choose an existing EQ Preset to link to that song.What...

I have an iBook and a G4 Cube. I'm looking for a solution that will allow me to keep my libraries syncronized. Any suggestions?

You could do it in SoundJam, but not in iTunes. Not without having to create a one-tune playlist each time, or babysitting the computer to stop iTunes after the one selection plays once. Ridiculous. Some "digital hub." Bah. I wonder, is there a way of achieving "one tune once" via AS? Thx.

Does anyone know of a script that makes a list of your most played bands, basically adding up the number of playcounts of all of a bands songs? Maybe it could have average playcount per song for a band or something.Another thing, I'm trying to find a script that would alow me to tell iTunes or...

While I wouldn't personally have a use for this script, a lot of other people would probably like an applescript that grabbed the current OTG playlist from the iPod and saved it as a regular playlist in iTunes, perhaps default named to the current date/time. Not sure how this would work, or if...

ATI recently released the Macintosh drivers for their Remote Wonder RF remote control. It's very nice for controlling iTunes. You can program it's buttons to launch applications so I modified an AppleScript to launch iTunes, then play a random song from a specific playlist. I saved the...
