Hi folks,
This script was running fine for me the last couple of months. I believe since I ran software updates on my mac, it is not running anymore...
Can someone help me with this error, please?
The lines of the script where the error occurs are the following:
Help is highly appreciated!
Thx & regards,
Ben

Hey,
I found a nice little workaround.
1. Download the zip file (attached)
2. Copy the "tunes.rb" into your Ruby Folder, which is (in my case): "/Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/"
3. use my meta2.rb script the same way you used the other one.
Have fun!

Have a look at this page: http://www.apeth.com/rbappscript/04appobject.html#staticterminology
That's the page where I found the workaround. I just updated the meta ruby script.

I converted his script to Python with no dependencies so you don't need to install anything else. If anyone wants a copy let me know.
It only does English though as I do not have a computer anymore and can't add functionality for other languages. It also updates as much tag information as provided by Apple (not just artist, album, track, etc...).
It also creates playlists of tracks that were matched and were not matched...

Attached is the Python version I wrote. Hopefully someone finds it useful. Any issues let me know.
Thank you for the script.
Since I use iTunes in French, to make it work I had to change the string used to identify the files to update:
if kind of t is "Fichier Audio AAC mis en correspondance" then ...
Thx
Thanks for the script !
However, I have an issue. The script doesn't find any tracks. I changed the string to match french iTunes' songs.
I'm using Mac OS X 10.8.1 with iTunes 10.6.3, is it a problem ?

I open iTunes, select all tracks (CMD+A), then I open Terminal and execute
Code:
python update_tags.pyI have the same issue:

Sorry I made a mistake, works like a charm
Just a question: What do you mean by "No iTunes Information Found" ?
If we matched a song with iTunes Match, we are able to get the track/artist name and so on, are we ?
Ask Apple. For some reason there are iTunes Matched songs that Apple doesn't have information for. I do not know why nor can I find out why. It's been bugging the hell out of me.
