Hello I am needing to know how to find the iTunes Music Library. I
know people could have it in places other than ~/Music/iTunes/ because
I moved mine to /Volumes/Music/ by holding down option at iTunes
start.
How would I determine where it is located. I looked in
com.apple.iTunes.plist and it contained alis:1:iTunes Library Location
as a NSData, but I can't figure out how to get the data from the
NSDictionary and it could also be alis:2 so on so how would I get
that?
'alis' is the OSType for a Carbon Alias type, so I'm guessing that's
probably what's in your your NSData. See the Carbon Alias Manager
documentation for more info.
Of course, poking around in an application's (presumably) private
preferences file probably isn't the best way to find out where its
library lives, but I don't see anything in its scripting interface
that can provide this information directly (although you could maybe
kludge it), so you might not have much choice. Any particular reason
you're wanting this stuff?
