FTR, I tested the above with audio CDs and disk images (worked fine), but
not with an iPod, because I don't have one. Yes. That's right. I don't have
an iPod. Hahahahaha! However, this should work...
property diskname : "My_iPod_Name"
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
try
tell application "Finder"
set theName to name of item 1 of added_items
end tell
if theName is diskname then
tell application "iTunes"
repeat 20 times
set diskloaded to exists source diskname
if diskloaded then
--do iPod stuff
exit repeat
end if
delay 1
end repeat
end tell
end if
on error msg
display dialog msg
end try
end adding folder items to
NB - The repeat loop is there in case there's a delay before iTunes 'sees'
the ipod
