I'm not very good with applescript so thanks for your help. It is
interesting because I can play tracks off the iPod if I do something
like :
play track X of playlist X of source "iPod Name"
So I wonder why I can't play tracks off the iPod using the database IDs?

First, your hierarchy is wrong. Tracks are elements of playlists, so
you
need to use the hierarchy:
(tracks of playlist 1 of source "iPod name) whose database ID is 1443
However, additionally you can't (or, at least, I can't seem to) play
tracks
off the iPod, only off local playlists. Therefore you need to a)
identify
the track you want to play, b) find that track in your library, and c)
play
it from the library.
This seems to work for me, provided you have unique track names:
tell application "iTunes"
set theTrack to ((first track of playlist 1 of source "iPod name")
whose
database ID is 1234)
tell playlist 1
play track named (name of theTrack))
end tell
end tell
In other words, I get the track that has the appropriate database ID,
then
play the track with the same name from my regular playlist/library.

Hello,
Does anyone know an applescript to tell iTunes to play a track on an
iPod using the database ID? I think it should be something like this:
tell application "iTunes"
play (track whose database ID is 1443) of playlist 1 of source "iPod
Name Goes Here"
end tell
This doesn't compile, it gives an error about not being able to make
some data into the right type or something. I know the database ID of
the song is correct. Any one know a solution?
