It doesn't work with Album, Composer, or Artist; trying with either
of those results in the word "value" being selected with the error
message:
"System Events got an error: NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4"
This is because some of the tracks do not have that information,
and when the information isn't there, neither is the property list
item. Instead of saying "Artist: missing value" or something
similar, the property list item "Artist" is not there for that
track. Looks like the only way to get at the artist list is to
loop through the entire property list. *sigh*
You should be able to filter such items, Michelle. Try this, for
example:
----------------
tell application "System Events" to set composer_list to value of ¬
property list item "Composer" of (property list items of ¬
property list item "Tracks" where name of property list items ¬
contains "Composer") of property list file (plistFile's path)
----------------
