Thanks for your reply, but I got same error.

tell application "iTunes"
if selection is {} then
display dialog "No tracks selected" buttons {"Cancel"} default button 1 with icon 2 giving up after 5
else
set sel to a reference to selection
repeat with i from 1 to count items of sel
set curTrack to item i of sel
if class of curTrack is file track then
if bookmarkable of curTrack is true then
set bookmarkable of curTrack to false
end if
end if
end repeat
end if
end tell

Hello,
I made a small script to make selected tracks not bookmarkable:

tell application "iTunes"
    set sel to a reference to selection
  repeat with i from 1 to count items of sel
               set curTrack to item i of sel
          if class of curTrack is file track then
                 set bookmarkable of curTrack to false
           end if
       end repeat
end tell

But "File permission error" occurs. I'm using iTunes 6.0.4.
Tracks are recorded either in Apple Lossless or in AAC format and have ".m4a" extension.
The song files and "iTunes Music Library.xml" have write permission and I can change their track number, for example.


Any ideas?

My god, I'm a beginner, and I can actually _answer_ this one!

Exactly the same thing happened to me (the other way round, as I was trying to make audiobooks bookmarkable)aa, and I solved it by trial and error.

I tested it just now (clipping this in and changing it the other way round from my audiobooks script), and it works fine.

What you want is:

                       if bookmarkable of t is true then
                           set bookmarkable of t to false
                    end if
