Itunes copy and paste get info

The short answer is:

I've just played with it briefly, and it certainly looks doable. You may need to use the "record" function to Get Automator to get the workflow to work properly.

Even easier if you just use AppleScript. You can then place the script in the iTunes script folder and then use it from within iTunes from the menu. If no one posts an AppleScript solution by tomorrow afternoon, then I'll likely submit something around then, if I remember.

I would think it would be desirable to use the selection in iTunes (making sure songs are selected), and be able to handle more than one song. Just some ideas there.

Hi,
You can also use applescript to do the task. If you are familiar with applescript, let me know.

Hi,
1. Open "Applescript Utility" (in your Application->AppleScript folder), check "Enable GUI Scripting", you will need your login password. Now quit "Applescript Utility".
2. Open "Script Editor". Copy and Paste the following into the script editor,

tell application "iTunes"
set N_ames to the name of selection
set x to the number of items in N_ames
repeat with i from 1 to x
set C_omment to the comment of track (item i of N_ames) of library playlist 1
set L_yrics to the lyrics of track (item i of N_ames) of library playlist 1
set lyrics of track (item i of N_ames) of library playlist 1 to {C_omment & return & L_yrics}
end repeat
end tell

3. Save the file in your Home/Library/iTunes/Scripts folder and give it any name you like. You may need to create the folder "Scripts" in Home/Library/iTunes folder.
4. Open iTunes, you will see a symbol in iTunes menu item, this is the symbol for script. Under the symbol you will find your script.
5. Select any number of songs anywhere in iTunes, click on the script symbol and choose the script you saved before.

The script will copy the comment of a song and add it on top of the lyrics of that song (if you don't have any lyrics, it will only add the comment).

Not sure why it is not working. After writing the script I tested it on four songs in one of my playlist and it worked. Give me some time to test it on other songs and see if I get the same problem as your.

I think it is the problem with multiple songs with the same title, sorry about that. I didn't specify the songs correctly enough in the script. Give me some time to figure this out. My experience with script is very limited, so it may take a while.
If somebody else like to step in and help us out, that would be great.

Hi,
Here is the corrected script:

tell application "iTunes"
if selection is not {} then
set sel to a reference to selection
repeat with aTrack in sel
set C_omment to the comment of aTrack
set L_yrics to the lyrics of aTrack
set lyrics of aTrack to {C_omment & return & L_yrics}
end repeat
end if
end tell

Hope it will work out.

Thanks to [Doug's Applescript for iTunes|http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scrxcont.php], this is a good source for writing script with iTunes.
