I searched the net today and found what I want:
http://schinckel.blogsome.com/2005/06/05/notification-from-applescript-
studio/
Here is my main.m:
========================================================================
==========
#import <mach-o/dyld.h>
#import <Foundation/NSDistributedNotificationCenter.h>
#import <Foundation/NSString.h>
#import <AppKit/NSAppleScriptExtensions.h>
extern int NSApplicationMain(int argc, const char *argv[]);
@interface iTunesConnection : NSObject
- (id) init;
@end
@implementation iTunesConnection
- (id) init {
NSDistributedNotificationCenter *nc =
[NSDistributedNotificationCenter defaultCenter];
[nc addObserver:self
selector:@selector(updateNow:)
name:@"com.apple.iTunes.playerInfo"
object:nil];
return self;
}
- (void) updateNow:(NSNotification *)notification {
NSString *updateScript = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"tell
application \"iTunes_Monitor\" to return itunes_hook()"
];
NSAppleScript *as = [[[NSAppleScript alloc]
initWithSource:updateScript] autorelease];
[as executeAndReturnError:nil];
}
@end
int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
iTunesConnection *connection;
connection = [[iTunesConnection alloc] init];
if (NSIsSymbolNameDefined("_ASKInitialize"))
{
NSSymbol *symbol = NSLookupAndBindSymbol("_ASKInitialize");
if (symbol)
{
void (*initializeASKFunc)(void) = NSAddressOfSymbol(symbol);
if (initializeASKFunc)
{
initializeASKFunc();
}
}
}
return NSApplicationMain(argc, argv);
}
========================================================================
==========
You have to change the line for your own script:
@"tell application \"iTunes_Monitor\" to return itunes_hook()"
It remains to be checked if selective notification catch is possible.

Does anyone know how to capture this notification and could they tell

I do believe that from iTunes 4.7 onwards you don't need to poll
iTunes for the status - it gives out a notification of when the song
changes. This is how apps like butler, etc can display the song
changing when it does, with no polling of iTunes.

Hiroshi - I think you may have to write a "visualizer" or other
plug-in to achieve this kind of behavior in a non-polling way. Doing
this is probably against the license agreement for developing such
plugins, but it might be worth looking into, especially if you're
just going to use it for personal stuff.
There is one pretty fancy EQ I saw as a plugin for iTunes that I
believe does things along those lines. Can't recall the name now.

Hello!
Are there anyway to execute an Applescript at the beginning of
every song
that is being played by iTunes?
What I want to do is to issue commands to hardware equalizer
(de-emphasis filter)
according to the comment column of every song being played.
iTunes' 'equalizer column' is not enough for me.
I'd like to avoid daemon-like Applescript that checks iTunes status
every minute.
