Hi Finlay,

Yeah, I saw the Data objects in the preference file. There's no way to decode them, is there?

I'm writing an app that batch copies a lot of music files from DVDs to the user's iTunes Music folder and adds them to the library. I figured if I could turn on the "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" preference, I could script iTunes to add the music files and save myself from having to do file-system operations like checking for a certain file's prior existence, renaming if so, etc.

Cheers, Joannou.

seeing something obvious?

I suspect it's encoded in one of the blobs in the preferences. Why do you need to know? :)
