Thanks, maybe this xml file will relieve me from having a separate AS/AE command.

As for getting the current track name and audio control,
AppleScript is the (only?) way to go. For reading the library you can
load the XML "iTunes Library" file iTunes provides for third parties.
This is for *reading only* ... you cannot modify the library by
modifying this file.
