I haven't tried this but it seems logical that u could simply save over the old playlist. If Automator allows that, then u do not need to delete the old playlist. Have u tried that?

ok, I'm not a programmer or an expert at automator but I'm trying to do something and maybe someone out there can help.
I'm having trouble with an action - it doesn't exist and I can't seem to get recorder to make it exist...


I'm creating a workflow that will put only one particular song in a specified playlist each day. I need to use the same playlist name every time as another automated program is searching for the playlist. I only want that ONE song in there each day and the song is dependent on the month/day of the year (ex: a halloween song on 10/31). I am able to create a workflow that adds a specific song to the playlist each day of the year by creating it as an iCal alarm - so far so good. However, I need to REMOVE the song from the previous day. There is an action that CREATES a play list so I'm thinking I could produce a workflow that creates a new playlist with the same name AFTER I delete the playlist. Then I can add the specific song to it - which is another action already in my library - for each day of the year.

So it would work like this:

1. Delete Playlist = Today's Song
2. Add Songs to Playlist (allows me to specify a new playlist, so I'll name it Today's Song)


Pretty simple except I need the Delete Playlist action.

How would I create it or does anyone have it for import?

Thanks
Andrew
