Change Pitch of Song v2.0 will open the currently playing iTunes track in QuickTime Player 7 which will then continue to play it using user-entered pitch control settings.
This version now works in Snow Leopard but QuickTime Player 7 must be installed--even if QuickTime Player X is also installed. QTPX does not (yet) have the AppleScript support to use this script. QTP7 can be installed from the "Optional Installs" folder on your Snow Leopard installation disc. It will be installed in your /Applications/Utilities/ folder.
UPDATED: Lossless to AAC Workflow v2.2
If you're one of the Correspondents who over the past couple of years have been suggesting I add AIFF-ability to Lossless to AAC Workflow, then the new v2.2 is for you.
These are two scripts that assist with importing/managing Apple Lossless or AIFF audio files and sending converted AAC copies to a mounted iPod set to "manually manage songs and videos". Yes, iTunes 9.1+ will auto-encode tracks to iPod, but only 128kbps AAC; these scripts enable to use your Custom AAC encoder settings.
No More Mute
I just noticed that "Mute" has been removed from iTunes' contextual menu in the Dock as of iTunes v9.1. Man, that was handy. Of course, a script hooked up to a shortcut does the job:
tell application "iTunes" to set mute to (not mute)
I'm pretty sure there is no other on-board control to toggle mute otherwise.
Join Together v6.0.1 Available
Join Together v6.0.1 fixes some bugs that arrived in the v6.0 version:
- fixed issue whereby file would not finish up export
- addressed issue with QuickTime not creating new document
- fixed issues that emerged with iTunes 9.1
- fixed error if no user playlists [Plus version]
- other minor fixes
Several Correspondents provided a lot of excellent trouble-shooting help on this. I really appreciate their time and effort. Future users salute them!
After Further Investigation...
Didn't care for the iDisplay. It was not very responsive when trying to run iTunes from the iPad. Although it did work. There was just a lot of delay. I will certainly check them out again when I see some updates. Someone recommended Pad Mouse and that'll do for the time being. But it could use some finessing as well. No rush! Like the rest of us neither of these outfits had an iPad to work with until Saturday.
iPad-Media Center Touch Control
So I saw the iDisplay that allows the iPad to be a second monitor to your desktop and thought: Perfect! This is exactly what I've been wanting to do with my Mac mini media center. I imagine I might even write an app or script that can reside in the second iPad monitor to control iTunes. I'll post later on how it works out.
Join Together v6.0 Bug Reports
Several users have reported (and are helping me trouble-shoot) a bug in the latest Join Together, which is v6.0. Essentially, the issue seems to be that the join never leaves "Finishing export". I'm working to solve the issue and have an update early in the coming week. Thanks for your patience.
iTunes 9.1 - Author column
In View Options for Books, the "Genre" column has been removed, and the "Artist" column appears to be renamed as "Author". In AppleScript it looks like the "Author" is accessible as a book track's artist. Also, FWIW, I'm not seeing my "Jeeves" ePub book in the XML.
UPDATED: Append to Selected Tag v2.1
Append to Selected Tag got an update to v2.1. A couple of days ago when I posted v2.0 I left out a line of code that prevented the thing from working most of the time. Thanks to Correspondent David R. for bringing it to my attention.
iTunes 9.1 - I Got It Wrong
After a re-start, sure enough, AppleScript Application Bundles are back in the menu.
