I know there is a hack on ResExcellence that is here:
http://www.ResExcellence.com/hack_html_01/06-25-01.shtml
according to that article all of the sound Jam commands are there they just
aren't in the dictionary.
it takes the dictionary from SoundJam and applies it to iTunes which then
makes it as scriptable as SoundJam.
As far as what you want to do I know of a non-Applescript solution. At least
in iTunes2 you can shift-click all the items you wish to edit then command-i
and a dialog will appear asking if you want to edit multiple items. click
yes then edit the id3 tags ass you would normally but it is applied to all
items.
