Applescript for playing each track for a second?
Well, does anyone know about a script that would play each track in my iTunes music library for just a second and then go to the next one?
There are a few details, though, that might make things a bit more complex:
first of all, occasionally, some of the tags might change, as soon as the track is beginning to play, e.g., the artist might change
(I guess this has to do with iTunes Match - I'm seeing a few funny behaviours since I've switched on iTunes Match).
Second, occasionally, iTunes will complain that "The song ... could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
In those cases, the script should "press" 'cancel'.
Actually, the latter is the main reason why I would like to have this script:
a number of tracks don't seem to be locally in my iTunes library any more, but they are still in the list, and still in the iCloud.
In order to find those tracks more easily, I would like to have this script.
Ideally, the script would then also click on the iCloud symbol with the downward arrow.
(I have tried the script from Doug's scripts at http://dougscripts.com/ that finds dead tracks, but I would still have to manually go through all tracks
and do a lot of clicking, double-clicking, etc.)
Any ideas , pointers, or applescript pieces would be most appreciated.
