set chooseOptions to {"All Results", "Apps", "Music", "Movies", "TV Shows", ¬
"Podcasts", "Books", "iTunesU"}
set optList to {"mt=3", "mt=8", "mt=1", "mt=6", "mt=4", "mt=2", ¬
"media=books#powerSearch&restrict=false&submit=media", ¬
"institutionTerm=&media=iTunesU"}
set opt to (choose from list chooseOptions with prompt "iTunes Power Search...")
if opt is false then return
repeat with i from 1 to length of chooseOptions
if opt as text is (item i of chooseOptions) then
set opt to (item i of optList)
end if
end repeat
set link to ("itms://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa/advancedSearch?" & opt) as text
