Hi Matthew,
Thanks for the feedback on the script. As for the time error, I just
wrote it wrong ;-)
I like your script but I like your idea of accessing the smart playlist
more. How would I access the playlist name? I tried using the actual
name but that didn't work.
Thanks,
Jon

New to this list and new to AppleScript...I checked the archives but
couldn't find what I was looking for so I thought I'd throw this out

you all.
I load a bunch of new music into iTunes every month and it would be
nice for every CD that I import a playlist gets made with the artist
and the title as the tag for that playlist. I found a script by Doug
Adams called "Arrange By Artist - Album" for iTunes but it does it for
my whole library.
I figured this would be a good foray into AppleScript so I began
modifying things, mainly adding this:
set theDate30DaysAgo to (current date) - (30 * days)
and changing this:
set numAllTracks to (get count of lib's file tracks)
to this:
set numAllTracks to (get count of lib's file tracks where date added >
theDate30DaysAgo)
But when I run it I get this message:
AppleScript Error: Can't get 3346 whose date added > date "Sunday,
January 16, 2005 9:93:29 PM".
How about:
tell application "iTunes"
set trackList to every file track of playlist "Library" of source
"Library" whose date added > date "Sunday, January 16, 2005 00:00:00"
set numAllTracks to count of trackList
end tell
Of course you could always have a smart playlist that had all tracks
added
in the last 30 days and then used the tracks in this playlist to create
others.
How come the time part in the message you received says 9:93:29 PM???
