I want to retrieve the path to the currently played file in iTunes. I
thought scripting bridge would be the perfect tool for this, however
i've run into some problem. I have this code:

iTunesApplication *iTunes = [[SBApplication alloc]
initWithBundleIdentifier:@"com.apple.iTunes"];
iTunesTrack *currentTrack = [iTunes currentTrack];

if ([currentTrack isKindOfClass:[iTunesFileTrack class]]) {
	

}

The problem is, that the class of the object returned is _always_
iTunesTrack, and not iTunesFileTrack, as i expect it to be.

Here's how you'd do it using objc-appscript <http://appscript.sourceforge.net/objc-appscript.html >:



// To generate iTunes glue: osaglue -o ITGlue -p IT iTunes

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import "ITGlue/ITGlue.h"

int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {
	NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];

ITApplication *itunes = [[ITApplication alloc] initWithBundleID: @"com.apple.itunes"];
ITReference *track = [itunes currentTrack];

ITConstant *trackClass = [[[track class_] get] send];

if (trackClass == [ITConstant fileTrack]) {
ASAlias *trackFile = [[[track location] get] send];
NSLog(@"%@", trackFile);
}
[itunes release];
[pool drain];
return 0;
}
