Is there a way to add a URL track to the iTunes library?
I want something exactly like "add" for files: it should add it, not play it,
and return a reference to the track for me to use.
I know about "open location", but that is slow because it tries to
start playing the URL, which is not desired. My current script had
open location "url"
stop
but it was running unbearably slow. In addition, this solution is
unworkable because it does not return a reference to the new track,
which means I have to search the url tracks for it. I suppose that it
might always add the url track at the end of the list or something,
which I did not investigate but which might make the searching very
easy.
It's very annoying that url tracks and file tracks have so many
differences like this!
Other things I have tried:
make new url track at the end of the url tracks ... no dice
opening a file with a list of URLs in it: this works in that it adds all the
URLs instantly, but it also tries to play the first one and does
not return any references. Still, this may be the best option.
thanks!

p.s., Let me know if this is not the right list to post this kind of
question. I tried looking through the archvies and searching on
google w/o success for this information.
