Try changing the line

To
set myFile to alias "ProDeuxHD:Users:Cippage:Music:NotAdded:Not Added.m3u"
Or to

Hi, I'm trying to create a folder action that takes the "Not Added.m3u" file created by the script List Music Folder Files Not Added <http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts07.php?page=1#listnotadded> and automatically ADDs (not import) them to the iTunes Library. I've got the ADD command working but I cannot hard code the file path/name. I can, however, use the "choose file with prompt" which works but isn't what I want.
The problem I'm having is identified below:
-- This method works, but I don't want to use it
--set myFile to (choose file with prompt "Select a file to read:")
-- This method does NOT work, but I wish to use it
set myFile to "ProDeuxHD:Users:Cippage:Music:NotAdded:Not Added.m3u"
--NOTE: I've tried to add of type {"TEXT"} here but get the error
--Can’t get "ProDeuxHD:Users:Cippage:Music:NotAdded:Not Added.m3u" of type("TEXT"). Access not allowed.
display dialog "Opening myFile for access..."
open for access myFile
display dialog "setting myFileContents to read myFile..."
set myFileContents to (read myFile)
--NOTE: After pressing OK from the previous dialog, I get the following Error
Can’t make "ProDeuxHD:Users:Cippage:Music:NotAdded:Not Added.m3u" into type file.
display dialog "Closing myFile..."
close access myFile
tell application "iTunes" to add myFile
Does anyone know how to troubleshot this problem? When I google search on:
applescript "make into type file"
I get only one web hit that doesn't open.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
