play with once Is Broken
(I have updated this post. See below.)
To play a track just once and then stop you're to do something like this, using the once modifier with the play command:
tell application "iTunes"
set aTrack to item 1 of selection
play aTrack with once
end tell
Well, that doesn't work in iTunes 12.2. The tracks just keep on coming. In fact, a few times some random track in some other playlist started playing afterwards or queues up in Up Next.
UPDATE (July 1, 2015, 6:39PM) - I think I may be wrong about this. I cannot replicate the original set of issues I describe above.
Dupin 2.8.7 Available
I fixed a couple of bugs that occur with iTunes 12.2, mostly cosmetic. Click "Check for Update..." in your current version or download the lateset from here.
Similar bugs showed up in Dupin Lite 2 and a new version has been submitted to the Mac App Store for review. It should be available from there in a few days.
UPDATED: Music Folder Files Not Added v4.5
Music Folder Files Not Added will list the file paths of the files in your designated "iTunes Media" folder which are not in iTunes' track library. Additionally, you can select a different parent folder and its contents will be compared to the iTunes library. Includes options to Add a selection of found files to iTunes, move them to the Trash, and export a text file listing the file paths.
This latest version accommodates some changes in iTunes 12.2 and provides preliminary support for OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) beta.
Music Folder Files Not Added is free to try for 10 days, $1.99 thereafter. This is a free update for registered users.
More information and download is on this page.
Dragging from Audiobooks Still Fails
This has been a problem for a couple of versions now. You can't drag tracks from the "Audiobooks" library. There's simply nothing in the "Tracks" node of the dragged pasteboard. Here's what the pasteboard looks like in Console after trying to drag a track from the Audiobooks library to my app Join Together:
iTunes 12.2 and AppleScript Issues, Volume 1
The current track and current playlist properties return a -1731 "unknown object type" error when run against a currently playing Apple Music track. That's going to be a problem for scripts and apps that use those properties to identify a playing track. I couldn't say if this is intentional or a bug.
The iTunes XML reports the main Library name as "####!####". This is not necessarily AppleScript related, but several of my scripts may refer to this "Master" playlist by obtaining its name from the XML.
More as it develops.
