Hi there,
Just wanted to do something quite simple, or so I thought... I'm not one
to shrink from growing applescripts, I've been scripting for years, I can
dream up OOP models in the bath while scrubbing my.. willyou mind if we
get back to what I want to do?
Select some tracks in an iTunes user playlist (i.e. NOT the library
playlist). Run the script. The script should delete the selected tracks
from the library playlist.
I was hoping to use 'database ID'. I can get the 'database ID' of the
selected tracks in the frontmost playlist. The dictionary promises me that
this is how we can uniquely identify a library track. Goodie.
The problem is, how do I refer to a track in the library if all I've got
is the database ID?
The following bare bones snippets fail to compile with 'expected end of
line but found property or key form'
tell application "iTunes"
tell library playlist
track ID 1234
end tell
end tell
tell application "iTunes"
tell library playlist
tracks whose database ID is 1234
end tell
end tell
So... what is the correct incantation? Isn't this a very basic thing?
Brennan
