I don't know, but you can use:
/usr/bin/defaults read com.apple.iApps iTunesRecentDatabases
to get the location of the Library xml file and check the locations of the files in there. I couldn't find any specific information, using defaults read, which tell me the location of the music folder.
1. Munge the array returned into a list of urls. Something like:
set dblist to paragraphs of (do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults read com.apple.iApps iTunesRecentDatabases | tr -d '(' | tr -d ')' | tr -d '\"' | tr -d ' ' ")
2. Translate the urls into POSIX file paths
3. cp each file path to an easy location like /tmp/db1.plist
4 Use 'defaults' to read the output files (in the form /tmp/db1)
5. Translate those urls into file paths.
Ugh! AppleScript needs some built-in URL encoding and coercion handlers. |
