Hi everyone. I used to use applescript quite allot, back on my pwr mac
7100/80. with 7.6.
but that was along time ago... Heres my situation... I have a whole
bunch of CD's and a word doc. the word doc is formated like this
"Trance CD VI
1. DJ Sammy & Yanou Heaven (Original)
2. Paul Van Dyke Second Sun (Empire Remix)
3. Ayla Angelfalls" etc
when i put the disk into my cube it cant read the id3 tags that have
(supposedly) been recorded on the audio files. but i was wondering if
someone could help me write a script that takes the text from the doc.
and put it into my itunes cd song info before i rip it.
so it must 1) read the artist, (after the period and space, up to the
space and hyphen) put it in the artist, for the correct track number,
2) then read the title (anything after the hyphen) and put that in the
title, and put the track number in the track number field.
It's not clear for me whether you intend to do that from an OSX or an OS9.
Under OSX, iTunes is scriptable and rather stable, so you can use it
to change the tags.
Now, you've got to parse the Word text: I would use the Regular
expressions to do the parsing. Tell me if you need more tips.
