UPDATED: Re-Add Selected Tracks as Podcast v1.2

Re-Add Selected Tracks as Podcast will re-add the files of the selected tracks to iTunes as if they were a Podcast subscription. The files will then appear in the Podcasts playlist and "behave" as though they are a group of Podcast episodes. Requires Web Sharing be activated.

This newest version is compatible with iTunes 7.7.1.

Also, I should note that there is a known Leopard/Apache bug that may prevent Web Sharing from working correctly. Many users facing this problem have had success using information from this Apple discussions link and item 5 from this macosxhints forums link. I do not know the status of this bug other than what I have read in the posts cited above.

UPDATED: Set Video Kind of Selected v3.0

If you have visited recently, you may have noticed that I have been updating some of the more popular offerings to universal binary, so that scripts run natively on both PPC and Intel Macs. Set Video Kind of Selected v3.0 gets the UB treatment, as well as some performance fixes. In lieu of iTunes' ability to batch-edit video properties for videos, this script will change the video kind property of the selected tracks to your choice of "Movie", "Music Video" or "TV Show". Additionally, "Show Name", "Season Number", and "Episode Number" can also be set or cleared for each selected track.

UPDATED: Make Bookmarkable v2.4

The newest version of Make Bookmarkable fixes a problem with files not being re-added to iTunes. Listen:

Recently, I had been seeing some reports of Make Bookmarkable mysteriously not working correctly for some users. The changing of the file type and extension of the selected tracks' files would go all right, but the file would not be re-added to iTunes' Audiobooks Library. After some investigation, the common thread of the problem was that the files were located on a MS-DOS FAT32 formatted external drive. Normally, Macs can deal with this. However, AppleScript cannot follow aliases of a file on such a drive unless the alias is the literal path. Make Bookmarkable changes the extension of files; such that an alias that earlier pointed to musicfile.m4a on a MS-DOS FAT32 drive doesn't recognize it when its name is changed to musicfile.m4b--unless you update the path of the alias to point to it. Do you follow?

Here's the thing: with an increasing number of Windows users switching to Mac and more Mac users working in Windows it's not out of the realm of possibility that they just plug their MS-DOS external drive into their Macs without re-formatting it. Also, as hard drive prices have gotten cheaper, users may be more apt to purchase a drive pre-formatted as MS-DOS. I know I've gotten a cheaper deals on MS-DOS formatted drives than Mac formatted, but, of course, I always reformat to HFS+. Considering this, I suspect I will be seeing this alias anomaly more in the future.

UPDATED: Make Bookmarkable v2.3

Make Bookmarkable changes the file type of the selected AAC tracks to "M4B " and file extension to ".m4b", thus making them "natively" bookmarkable. Additionally, deletes and re-adds each converted track so each will appear in the Audiobooks Library. Ratings, play count, last played date, skip count, and skipped date are preserved. Latest version is universal binary.

UPDATED: Make UN-Bookmarkable v3.2

Make UN-Bookmarkable converts the iTunes tracks selection which have been converted to "M4B" with Make Bookmarkable back to "M4A". Latest version is now a universal binary.

UPDATE: Make Bookmarkable v2.2

The iTunes 7.6 update has some troubles, AppleScript-wise. I'm not exactly sure where the problem is, however, the first evidence of it occurs with Make Bookmarkable. An "Apple Event timeout" error occurs when multiple tracks are selected. I have posted a workaround and I am investigating the problem so I can file a bug report with Apple.
