Thanks Takaaki

I hadn’t noticed you email today and set about writing the code to get next
track. I’l have to take a look at your script tonight.

It’s a bit wordy as I was learning as I went.

All I need now is a way to write the data somewhere I can get to it from QC.
Like say a .plist file then use the Read File patch (Kineme File Tools).

tell application "iTunes"
        --      set myPlaylist to view of front window -- selected playlist
        try
                set myPlaylist to current playlist -- selected playlist
        end try
        set myCount to 1
        repeat with aTrack in (get every track of myPlaylist)
                set msg to ((myCount & ": " & album of aTrack as text) & " | "
& artist of aTrack as text) & " | "
                set myCount to myCount + 1
                log msg
        end repeat
        log "Current Playlist is called: " & name of current playlist as text
-- (track, r/o) : the current targeted track
        log "Currently playing track is: " & name of current track as text

        set nextTrack to {}
        set sumTracks to count tracks in current playlist
        repeat with n from 1 to (sumTracks - 1)
                if name of track n of myPlaylist = name of current track then
                        set nextTrack to track (n + 1) of myPlaylist
                        log ("Track " & n & " of playlist " & name of
myPlaylist & " matches the current track: " & name of current track)
                end if
                set myCount to myCount + 1
        end repeat
        if nextTrack ≠ {} then
                log "Next track to play is: " & name of nextTrack as text
        else if myPlaylist ≠ {} then
                log "There is currently no playlist being played"
        else
                log "No next track to play. (Last song in playlist).”  -- note
this line never gets run b/c myPlaylists is assigned to {} when the last track
is being played (an iTunes thing)

        end if
end tell
