Amen!
You'll get my SoundJam MP when you pry it from my broken down hard drive -
or make iTunes AppleScriptable.
It was so Microsoftian of Apple to consume one good program and give us a
program of lesser quality (at least in terms of AppleScript support).
Is anyone scripting CD Burner? I use Toast (Scriptable), but did see there
is at least minimal script support in CD Burner.
Anyone? Anyone?
