Dupin v1.1.2 Released
I have fixed a couple of issues with Dupin in version 1.1.2, now available for download. Some Leopard users were seeing an error at startup about a string coercion; this is fixed. Also, a problem with video Sample Rates (there aren't any) was fixed.
UPDATED: Tracks Without Artwork to Playlist v2.3
I've updated Tracks Without Artwork to Playlist to work with Leopard. Unfortunately, this particular download is just a plain .zip file--no fancy installer .dmg, at least for now. I've got to rebuild my little workflow that creates those so it can play well in Leopard.
Dupin v1.1.1 Released
Just released a quick update to Dupin. Version 1.1.1 fixes a "compilation error" some users were getting at startup.

That Didn't Take Long...iTunes 7.4.1
iTunes 7.4.1 was released today. No specific changes were noted by Apple, but by some accounts it blocks the ability to create your own iPhone ringtones by merely changing the file extension (to .m4r).
iTunes 7.4 Released
iTunes 7.4 was released last night but I didn't get to it til this morning. New stuff! Album Ratings! My Good Friend Kirk McElhearn has observations on this new feature. I'm still looking into other AppleScript additions, but quite noticably there are three new track properties: album rating, album rating kind, and rating kind. The "kind" properties are read-only, but you can set album rating just like rating. I'll be posting a page of my findings later today.
UPDATED: Search SlothRadio for Artwork v1.1
Search SlothRadio for Artwork v1.1 uses the Artist and Album name of the selected or currently playing track in iTunes to initiate a search for corresponding cover artwork using SlothRadio's Cover Finder. They recently changed their web page format and so the script has been updated. Thanks to Correspondent Jostein Sletvold for the info.
