iTunes multiple changes without repeat? Speeding up things.

Hi!

Does anyone of you know of a way to make changes to the properties of some tracks without looping?

Usually I do it like this:

property fixed_album_name : "This Is An Example"
tell application "iTunes"
   if selection of front browser window is {} then
       display alert "nothing selected."
       return
   end if
   set these_tracks to selection of front browser window
   set these_tracks_ref to a reference to these_tracks
   repeat with tr in these_tracks_ref
       set album of tr to fixed_album_name
   end repeat
end tell

my "problem" now is, that I want to do several changes (it's a tag-fix-script) and looping through all the trags and tags isn't very fast. Especially because iTunes always refreshes the screen.

So I thought I could do something like this:

set album of every track of these_tracks_ref to fixed_album_name

which, of course, didn't work.

Is there another way to achieve that? Or is athere a way to make iTunes stop refreshing the screen?

Many thanks in advance...
