As for getting the current track name and audio control, AppleScript is the (only?) way to go. For reading the library you can load the XML "iTunes Library" file iTunes provides for third parties. This is for *reading only* ... you cannot modify the library by modifying this file.

Hello. I hope that this is the appropriate group for this question. If not, could someone please point me to the right group? There doesn't seem to be an iTunes related SDK group, so I thought to post here.

I need to control iTunes, though I have not received a precise specification request yet. I know that I'll have to query the library database, find out which track is playing, be notified for library/playlist/track changes, and other similar requests (sorry to be so vague). I thought it preferable to use Apple Events for speed, and while I would guess that this is possible, I have not found any Apple documentation on how to do so. Could anyone point me towards some documentation on this? I'd rather not rely on Applescript if I could avoid it, so as to minimize response times. Apple events would seem to be preferable, at least prima facie.

thanks,

Philip Lukidis
