A little AppleScript goes a long way…

March 4th, 2003 · Comments · music, software

I just used a couple of freely available AppleScript widgets to enable auto-import into my iTunes library on a shared volume on my home network!

I can now transfer music I rip/share, at a friends house, at the office (we have a system with many CDs), where ever… to my home machine via ftp into a folder, which then enables iTunes to import automagically! Once the import is complete, I then have immediate access to tunes in SliMP3!!

What you need…

From Apple -

1. ScriptMenu
2. Folder Action Scripts
3. Add to iTunes Folder Action (scroll to the bottom)

Follow the instructions with each part - takes about 5 minutes…

This saves the double effort normally required to copy to the folder, then import into iTunes. I still go in and tweak certain ID3 tag pieces, but I can be jamming to the new tunes while that happens.
