Hi again!
After hours of coding I decided to take a look at the AppleScript
Dictionary from iTunes, and yes, it should work,
there is only one problem:
I need to get and set the path of a track. Sadly the track path doesn't
appear as it could
be read out or set. Or am I wrong?
Best Regards
Martin

And you can't edit it through AppleEvents? Take a look at the
AppleScript Dictionary, you can do an awful lot of manipulations
through the exposed events. And by sticking to the events, you are
avoiding concurrency and versioning issues. I have written a couple of
AppleScript Studio applications doing exactly that, and not found it
to be a real performance issue.
I really can't think of any reason to want the information in the DB
that would not be better done by using iTune's AppleEvents, unless you
are trying to somehow make iTunes on a different platform...

Any reason you can't just use AppleEvents to talk to iTunes and
simply ask it for the listing? If you use AppleScript (Studio) then
you can get a lot of information from it, including having iTunes do
your searches for you...
