UPDATED: Export Selected Tracks to XML v1.2

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.

UPDATED: Export Smart Playlist Criteria v1.2

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.

More About PDFs

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.
