Hello, I have a question that has left me stumped in iTunes. I am going to
write a Cocoa program that will manipulate some things in iTunes such as
play counts, rating etc. To begin my testing I went into the iTunes folder
in the music directory of my home and started playing around with some
values of things such as the rating. The file I was working with here btw
is iTunes Music Library.xml.
Anyways, I would switch a songs Rating from a value of say 60 to 20. When I
would write that file and look into iTunes the value did not change and when
I reopened the file my values were still there. I figured that iTunes needs
to re-read the file so I closed iTunes and reopened it and the old values
were still in the playlist for iTunes even though when I reopened my xml
file only to see the values I put in where there. I tried this many times
and when I would get info on a song in iTunes and hit OK it would then write
what values it was using in the play list and write them to the xml file.
My question then is this; where does iTunes read the real valued from before
writing it to this xml file? I opened the iTunes package and saw nothing
that would keep the values.
I have used the Propertylist Editor to open many files and have not found
what I am looking for. Anyone know what file I should be looking to edit in
order for iTunes to read the new values I have set for it?
Thanx for your help and although not a 100% Cocoa question it is regarding a
Cocoa program I am going to write (that will be freeware)
