Whew! Quick update to Current Track to Twitter, which was NEW this morning (see previous entry). Rather than have you hard code the script, you can now create a new password in your Keychain with your Twitter account info, thus keeping it secure. You’ll have to set up a new password with the Keychain Access app and instructions are included in the script’s Read Me. Much obliged to Coda Hale’s original script for QuickSilver which provided some routines.

If you’re a Twitter user, Current Track to Twitter is a stay-open applet that continuously monitors iTunes and when a new song starts playing will post info about that song to your Twitter account, including song name, artist, album, and rating stars. Geeky!

Another update to a script that needs to locate the current XML file: Export Selected Tracks to XML will create an importable XML file using the data from the selected tracks, similar to the iTunes “Export Song List…” as XML menu command except that just the selected tracks’ data are exported. Later, you can reimport the files using the iTunes “Import…” command in the File menu.

Another couple of scripts that need to reference the XML file: Export Smart Playlist Criteria is a collection of two scripts, “Export Smart Playlist Criteria” and “Export Selected Smart Playlist Criteria”, each export just the criteria of the selected Smart Playlist(s) to an XML file. This file can then be imported to any iTunes using the “Import” command in the File menu. Handy for backing up Smart Playlist criteria or for sharing your Smart Playlists’ criteria with other users. The latest version of each script is able to locate the XML file of a loaded multiple library.

In my post yesterday, I suggested using “PDF Adder” to add PDFs to your iTunes. Duh. I neglected to mention that also in the PDF Adder collection is a PDF Service Workflow called “Add to iTunes…”. When installed in your [username]/Library/PDF Services folder it appears as an option under the “PDF” drop-down in any app that supports a Print dialog. So, find a page in Safari, hit “Print” and select “Add to iTunes…”. It will ask for a name, artist, and album for the PDF and then add it to iTunes.
