AppleScript for iTunes
Doug's Actions for iTunes Volume 1 v1.0
Obligatory warning: This script has been designated as an obsoleted "Retro Script". There is no guarantee that it will function as described with modern versions of iTunes (or the newer Music or TV apps) and/or macOS. If used in its current form it may not work at all without modification. At worst, it may corrupt or delete data.
This collection contains seven Automator Actions for iTunes:
- Get Selected Tracks or Selected Playlist
Outputs the selected tracks, or if no tracks selected, the selected playlist - Choose Encoder
Select an encoder to use on-the-fly, restoring your iTunes Preferences-set encoder with the Restore Encoder action - Restore Encoder
Restores the Preferences-set encoder stored with the Choose Encoder action - Convert Tracks
Convert library tracks or import CD tracks with option to delete the original tracks and their files - Copy Tracks to Playlist
Copy tracks from a previous action to a new or existing library playlist - Copy Tracks to iPod
Copy tracks from a previous action to a new or existing iPod playlist - Make AAC Tracks Bookmarkable
Change the file-type of AAC tracks from a previous action so that they are "bookmarkable"
For more information about each action, refer to its description in Automator's Actions List. Requires Mac OS 10.4 or later.
Being from the first generation of Automator, these Actions may or may not "play well" with the latest versions of Automator.
(Note: In order to launch this PowerPC-era script on an modern machine, it must first be opened and then saved using Script Editor which is located in your /Applications/Utilities/ folder. More information is here.)
