Import iPod Audio Files copies the files of the selected iPod tracks to your iTunes Music/Media folder and then adds them to iTunes. Additionally, you can assign the new tracks to their own playlist. Requires the iPod be set to “Manually manage music and videos”.
Will not work on Windows-formatted iPods.
Not compatible with iPhone/iPod touch.
Not recommended for large-scale iPod audio recovery operations.
This latest version is a maintenance release that fixes a problem locating files and has a re-designed progress indicator.

After posting Drop to Playlist recently, I went crazy for the droplets. This new script, Make Add-to-Playlist-Droplet, will create AppleScript droplets that perform a function similar to iTunes 9’s “Automatically Add to iTunes” folder but for individual playlists. Simply select a playlist and run the script to create a droplet that references the selected playlist. Once such a droplet is created, drag-and-dropping files to its icon in the Finder will add the files to your iTunes library and copy the new tracks directly to the playlist that the droplet references. The script will allow you to create as many droplets for as may playlists as you like.

I’ve updated Brian Webster’s Embed Artwork as universal binary, but otherwise there are no changes. This script simply re-embeds artwork into the files of the selected tracks. Handy for ensuring that artwork data travels with a file.

My friend David Bills asked that Drop to Playlist include the “Purchased” playlist in its selection settings. Done! (boodely-OOP!).
Drop to Playlist v1.1 is an AppleScript droplet that will add files dropped on it to your iTunes library and copy them to a specific user playlist set in the droplet’s preferences. The preference setting is accessed by double-clicking the droplet, and can be changed when required. Handy when placed in the Finder toolbar or sidebar.

OK. I suppose I don’t actually hate it. But you might find it convenient to change the “done” chime that sounds whenever you import or convert files in iTunes. I Hate That iTunes Done Chime! v2.0 will let you select a new sound to replace “boodely-OOP!” — which is actually named “complete.aif”. You can choose from any of the default system sounds (ping, sosumi, submarine, and so on), no sound, or your own AIFF sound file.
This latest version is simply a maintenance release and is saved as universal binary.

Apple has released an iTunes update and describes pretty explicitly (for Apple) what the fixes are, like the issue with the zoom button, unexpected quits, and unresponsiveness, the latter two of which I experienced a couple few times.
Tell you one thing. It installed a lot faster on Leopard than it did on Snow Leopard.
Now, did they fix the discrepancy with displayed track sizes versus displayed Finder file sizes under Snow Leopard (my pet radar report)? No:

These two AppleScripts, “CDDB Safari” and “CDDB Tracks to iTunes via Safari”, assist in finding and retrieving Album track information, Album, Artist, and Year from Gracenote’s CDDB website using Apple’s Safari browser. CDDB Safari Kit v3.1 addresses some minor changes in Gracenote’s page formatting.
