AppleScript for iTunes
Rip AAC Old School v0.9
Obligatory warning: This script has been designated as an obsoleted "Retro Script". There is no guarantee that it will function as described with modern versions of iTunes (or the newer Music or TV apps) and/or macOS. If used in its current form it may not work at all without modification. At worst, it may corrupt or delete data.
This is an AppleScript wrapper for the command line tool afconvert. It will rip CD tracks as AAC using Constant Bit Rate (CBR) so that ripped tracks will all have the same bit rate. The latest versions of iTunes now rip (and convert) tracks to AAC using Average Bit Rate (ABR) or Variable Bit Rate Constrained (VBR_Constrained); these are the settings you get with VBR unchecked or checked, respectively. Thus, ripped tracks will not necessarily have the exact bit rate you select.
Requires Mac OS 10.5 or later.
(Note: In order to launch this PowerPC-era script on an modern machine, it must first be opened and then saved using Script Editor which is located in your /Applications/Utilities/ folder. More information is here.)
