A little more about the "none" bug, mentioned earlier today. Any script compiled and saved before iTunes 8.2 which uses the "none" constant with playlist's special kind property will error. Thus, if you get an error concerning "«constant eSpKkSpN»" then it is most likely this bug.
The fix, as I also mentioned earlier, is to open the script with Script Editor, making a note of whether the script's format is compiled (.scpt or .scptd extension) or application (.app extension), and replacing any occurrence of «constant eSpKkSpN» with the bare word none. Then "Save as..." the script, making sure the File Format in the save dialog is set as you noted.
The script should run fine under iTunes 8.2, but, because it has been re-compiled, will not under iTunes 8.1.1 and earlier.
Special Kind Playlist Property Weirdness
A script I had written a year ago looks for playlists whose smart is false and special kind is none. Since updating to iTunes 8.2 it is showing as raw «constant eSpKkSpN». The error is: "Can’t get name of every user playlist whose smart = true and special kind = «constant eSpKkSpN»."
If I open the script and change «constant eSpKkSpN» to "none" then save, all's OK.
Join Together Breaks with Latest iTunes/QT
Haven't had a chance to investigate this yet, but it appears that the latest iTunes and/or QuickTime doesn't play well with Join Together. I'll have a look-see as soon as I can and an update shortly thereafter.

iTunes 8.2 Released
Apple put iTunes 8.2 up on the web and in Software Update, along with a QuickTime and GarageBand update. 8.2 sports accessibility and bug fixes, compatability with iPhone Software 3.0. I've been away all day and haven't given it a run through, so perhaps there will be more to report later.
ScriptPal v1.1 Posted
I posted ScriptPal v1.1 on Monday. This new version can now display the contents of the user "Scripts" folder (~/Library/iTunes/Scripts/) and/or the local "Scripts" folder (/Library/iTunes/Scripts/), can add a script to an existing Workgroup via the contextual menu, and addresses a couple of minor issues.

ScriptPal v1.0.1 Released
Just made a couple of quick fixes to ScriptPal, now at version 1.0.1. Fixed a problem listing scripts when the "Scripts" folder has a custom icon and addressed an issue whereby the contents of application bundles with non-standard hierarchies were being displayed.
Thanks for the great feedback on ScriptPal.
