Hi Don,
I was thinking about your problem. Maybe it has nothing to do with
your script. Do you have the preferences set to "Import CD" on
inserting disk? (Preferences/ Advanced) When I upgraded to version
7, this was the default. Perhaps it is affecting the operation of
your script. On activating iTunes and recognising a CD, the app may
be importing the whole CD because of your settings. Try choosing
another setting.

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
