Hi Matt,
iTunes returns the "persistent ID" as a "double integer", but as Chris
said over two years ago, AppleScript converts this to "real" upon
receiving it. I don't know how you could work around it.
hmmm...I cant shake the feeling that someones been wildly incompetent
here. <g> I do hope its not me.
turns out that the persistent ids stored in the xml file are
alphanumeric and once passed in to an applescript are not accepted by
the applescript as being double integers anyway...presumably itunes
alters their format within the xml file for storage purposes.
all of which basically makes the persistent ids utterly useless for any
purpose I can think of :) Ill see what I can do using other
approaches.
thanks all for your help.
Yours cheerfully,
Andrew Bush
