I'm having problem trying to take a track from one itunes playlist and
adding it to another, this used to work now it doesnt but I dont know if
it doesnt work at all just in my test case
This is my test:
tell application "iTunes"
set mainlibrary to library playlist 1
set list_of_folders to get every folder playlist
set new_playlistfolder to item 1 of list_of_folders
set new_playlist to (make user playlist in new_playlistfolder with
properties {name:"TestPlayList"})
try
set existtrack to (first file track of mainlibrary whose database ID =
14265)
duplicate existtrack to new_playlist
on error err_mess
log err_mess
end try
end tell
and this is what I get when I run it in Applescript editor
tell application "iTunes"
get library playlist 1
--> library playlist id 14395 of source id 72
get every folder playlist
--> {folder playlist id 27010 of source id 72, folder playlist id 29459
of source id 72}
make with properties {name:"TestPlayList"} at folder playlist id 27010
of source id 72 new user playlist
--> user playlist id 29721 of source id 72
get file track 1 of library playlist id 14395 of source id 72 whose
database ID = 14265
--> file track id 20505 of library playlist id 14395 of source id 72
copy file track id 20505 of library playlist id 14395 of source id 72 to
user playlist id 29721 of source id 72
--> error number -1708
(*iTunes got an error: Can’t set user playlist id 29721 of source id 72
to file track id 20505 of library playlist id 14395 of source id 72.*)
end tell
Any ideas.
thanks Paul
