iTunes autostart

[TuffLuffJimmy]

I was wondering if there were a script or some other tool I could use to automatically start itunes from the place it was when I closed my macbook's lid. It gets a little tedious to have to go into itunes and hit the space bar every time I open the lid, plus it would be nice to learn a little scripting. Does anyone know a good place to look to learn applescript?

I think you'll need a couple of things... first, you'll need something to allow you to execute a script on wake.

This app might possibly do it: Lingon -- it makes use of a new part of OS X called launchd that is sort of a beefed up / replacement cron.

This one also seems able to do it: ScriptTimer

Then second, you'll need to know how to make the iTunes Applescript. The one you'll need is very simple... it essentially just tells the application iTunes to play. You might start with a tutorial like this one.

Good luck!
