HI Alex,
Yes that does work for me in two steps, but I cannot get it to work in
one.
Thank You!

You could try:
set myPath to get the location of the current track
set myPOSIXPath to POSIX path of myPath
(or perhaps combine into one statement, which I think should work.)

Hi Gregory,
What is the proper way to convert an HFS Path to a POSIX path?
The proper way is to make whatever effort you can to avoid having
an HFS path to worry about in the first place. So if you have any
control over that end of things, I'd say avoid it. In particular,
if you're storing a file reference for any length of time, prefer
aliases.
It is an Option is AS can do it.
I do:
tell application "iTunes"
set myTrack to get the name of the current track
set myArtist to get the artist of the current track
set myAlbum to get the album of the current track
set myPath to get the location of the current track
end tell
'myPath' is an HFS path. I know when using the choose file dialog I
can do this:
set selectedFile to POSIX file (choose file)
but I am not sure when I get the information directory from iTunes.
I then take the 'myPath' and pass to Objective-C for working with it.
