Trying to convert an audio track to a different encoding and then do something with the result (e.g. audio CD to AAC, then change album name). Why doesn't this work properly with timeout?
tell application "iTunes"
with timeout of 3000 seconds
convert aTrack
end timeout
--do otherStuff
end tell When run, the script instantly throws an "Apple Event timed out" error and then starts to convert the track, but the script is no longer running. It's not even to do with the CD drive being slow, because converting a three-minute audio track on the hard drive does exactly the same thing even though the convert is very fast.
What obvious thing am I missing? All the books just say how timeout works, they don't seem to mention what's happening when the application seems to completely ignore it... |
