That doesn't work. The "convert" command takes a list of references
to tracks/ files and a database ID is just an integer. Nothing gets
imported when a list of database IDs are passed.
I did try passing the location of the 2 tracks but that also results
in the entire CD being imported.
I filed a Bug Report on this, any experience on how responsive
AppleScript/iTunes folks are on fixing things? Also I can no longer
access the bug I posted. It shows up in "My Originated Problems" but
when I click on the bug it tells me "You do not have privileges to
view problem X." It's listed as "Open". It looks like someone added
an "AS:" to the title I posted "AS: Applescript "convert" ignores
track list, imports all tracks with iTunes 7.0".

Hi Don
How about this:
tell application "Finder"
set audioCDSource to the name of first disk whose format is
audio format
(*get name of disk on the desktop*)
end tell
tell application "iTunes"
activate
play audioCDSource
delay 1
set track1 to database ID of current track
next track
set secondTrack to database ID of current track
next track
set thirdTrack to database ID of current track
set importedTracks to convert {secondTrack, thirdTrack}
end tell
It probably works

I just upgraded my iTunes to 7.0 and now a script that used the
convert command to import individual tracks off a CD now causes
iTunes to import the entire CD. The convert command fails with a
timeout error.
Here's a sample script that demonstrates the problem:
tell application "iTunes"
set audioCDSource to (first source whose kind is audio CD)
set secondTrack to track 2 of playlist 1 of audioCDSource
set thirdTrack to track 3 of playlist 1 of audioCDSource
set importedTracks to convert {secondTrack, thirdTrack}
end tell
Load a CD and after iTune recognizes the CD, run the script. The
script should just import tracks 2 & 3 (which it does with iTunes
6.0) but with 7.0 it loads all tracks starting with track 1.
I was getting ready to launch a product with this script in the
next month but this bug will cause me major headaches. I logged
a bug using Bug Reporter.
Anyone have any suggested workarounds or approaches to take? Any
guesses on how long a bug like this might take to get fixed or
addressed? DTS tells me they don't support AppleScript.
Thanks!
Don
