macOS What's Programming??

It's all Greek to me...

There is a track number field in the iTunes database. If you rip music from vinyl or tape, or from a CD that isn't in CDDB, it won't automatically be filled in. So, if you want to play that album in its original order, you have to fill in the numbers.

A little program to help with that task makes oodles of sense.

Here you go:

tell application "iTunes"
	if selection is not {} then
		copy (track number of selection) to theTrackCount
		copy selection to theTracks
	else
		return
	end if
end tell

copy theTrackCount's length to theTrackCount

repeat with i from 1 to theTrackCount
	tell application "iTunes"
		copy (a reference to item i of theTracks) to theTrack
		copy theTrackCount to track count of theTrack
		copy i to track number of theTrack
	end tell
end repeat

Gee, thanks for spoiling months of intense research and development 😛

But seriously, thank you! That's great, I can start looking at it and poking it around and stuff 🙂

Is there a way of integrating Applescript into a GUI?

Yes, there is. Enjoy your 10 minutes of research. 🙂

Need a hint? XCode.

That works, too.

That works, too.

For a gui for AppleScript? What other way is there... AppleScript studio?

Script Editor is how I've always done it.
