Lee,
i found this excellent site with iTunes/AppleScript info and
examples while struggling with iTunes scripting a while back:
http://www.malcolmadams.com/itunes/index.shtml
perhaps you'll find what you're looking for there as i did. if
nothing else, it will give you a good base from which to work,
since it sounds like you are going to be doing a lot of work with
iTunes.

Hello all. I'm new. To this list and to AppleScript (wow, AppleScript
looks so much like English, he said at first glance). I hope my
questions
don't sound silly.
I'm setting up an internet radio station and after many headaches with
Linux apps and Perl scripting, we dug up an old beige G3 desktop
and it's
now running OS X. I am trying to set up iTunes as the
automated/scriptable jukebox for the station. Here's my first problem:
tell application "iTunes"
activate
set bumper to the track named "station-id" in library playlist
play bumper
end tell
this does not work. It produces an error like so:
"can't get track named "station-id" in library playlist."
The track's there. It's in the Library path I defined in the prefs
AND in
the default Library in my home dir, just to be safe. iTunes won't
see it.
In fact, I can't play ANY track in the Library by name.
Ideas appriciated.
