Hi,

I'm trying to build an script to change the name (which is expressed in the dictinary as KIND) of certains audio tracks, but i've failed writing.
I can get the KIND but not set it. Any ideas?

KIND is documented in the dictionary as "r/o" -- read-only. You can't change it's value.

Despite the fact that the iTunes dictionary describes it as:

    kind (Unicode text, r/o) : a text description of the track

if you look at the contents of that field, what it contains is the
'kind' of audio format: MP3, AAC, etc.
( Makes sense that that info is read-only: you can change that field
  only by doing a format conversion of the data. )

Maybe what you want to change is "genre" or "comment" of the track.


[ Next time, please trim included text and edit the subject line! ]

-- tell application "QuickTime Player" activate tell movie 1 activate set m_list to kind of track 2 tell track 1 get kind set kind to "portugues" end tell end tell end tell
