Processing order in my scripts is normally in reverse order of the tracks as shown in the display (this prevents certain kinds of errors) but one should not assume that iTunes will give them to the script in precisely that order.

You sir are my hero! thank you very much. I made an an account for apple support just to tell you how grateful I am questjust one question (I had 2 but already forgot the details of one)
During the deletion process it asked me around 5 times or so whether I would like to delete a song permanently, not sure why it did, but it didn't make a difference for me.
Thanks again for you're great work!

Oct 21, 2014 4:42 PMby protect02476,Hi tt2,
I'm not sure if you remember me from a few months back, but would like to seek your help again.
I downloaded the latest version of DeDuper and changed the line "UseTrash=True" to "UseTrash=False" to avoid having to click "ok" for each deletion request. However, I received the following runtime error during the scripts deletion phase.
---------------------------
Windows Script Host
---------------------------
Script: C:\Users\johng_000\Downloads\DeDuper (1).vbs
Line: 687
Char: 5
Error: File not found
Code: 800A0035
Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error---------------------------
OK
---------------------------Can you help?

Oct 22, 2014 9:32 AMby turingtest2,There is an existence check earlier in the same routine so it seems odd that a file not found error could be generated. Anyway I've added in some additional error handling so that it will now tell you which item it was trying to delete and you can decide whether to abort or continue.
I'd be interested to see if there is any pattern. I still worry about the same file appearing on multiple paths when NAS drives are involved because I'm not certain my detection mechanism for those will always work. It currently relies on the archive attribute which I've read isn't always supported. Backup first just in case.

Dec 3, 2014 8:57 PMby Tricky94,I just wanted to say, this post -- and the detailed instructions on using the script -- were awesome! Have never tried using a script before. You also responded to a post of mine on importing playlists -- unfortunately I didn't see that answer soon enough (caught in spam filter) but managed to find it and with your script sorted it out! Thanks so much!!
