Windows Solutions

 
 

AppleScript is Macintosh-only. Here are several developers of iTunes-sorta-script solutions for Windows. This list is by no means complete, but it's all I know about. My guess is that many of these are outdated.

iTunes COM for Windows Software Development Kit (SDK)
This SDK from Apple provides header files, documentation, and sample JScript files demonstrating how to use the iTunes for Windows COM interface. COM is the Microsoft technology, similar to AppleScript on Mac OS, that allows programmatic control of iTunes from languages like JScript, Visual Basic, C#, and C++. This SDK requires iTunes for Windows version 4.7 or later. [Sept 16, 2008]
I believe this download requires membership in the Apple Developer program. Go to the link above and page the alphabetical listing until you come to "iTunes COM for Windows SDK".
