Bobb's iTunes Automation WinScripts

Here are few Windows scripts that do REAL work, but it also means u may have to customize them to your needs.

Warning: There is no support for these scripts. Use at your own risk.

Scripting Documentation - Microsoft/Apple docs.

Everything document in one zip file

iNotes - Auto sync notes files and others.

A simple thing this script does, but incorporates key logics to make things possible.

pcTOiTunes - Automates adding tracks to iTunes with housekeeping.

1. Schedule daily recordings to PC.

2. Create new playlist, Load PC files to iTunes, Delete old playlist/tracks.

3. Plug in iPOD and sync.

This script automates step 2.

This script is for people who do daily recordings. Call it VCR post-processing.

If u like something easier, check out itunes Folder Watch, a utility that watches specified folder and add new entries into iTunes. ‘Course u won’t be able to rename, create playlist, delete old entries etc, but no learning curve on this one.

QuickTunes - Select folder/songs from desktop, Right-click Send-To folder, to QuickTunes, BAM!

Make a shortcut for QuickTunes.js and place this in your Send-To folder. Send folders/files to it and they will be added to iTunes. Prompts to plug in iPod if not already mounted!

*** Edit the script, change the User Defined section, save.

Reduces the chore of adding music to iPod to the absolute minimum effort. Good for Grab-'n-Go.

UpdatePodcastFeeds - Just what it says.

Curiously, it took me a while to find this code.

Installation – Just schedule this script to run when u want to, and all podcasts will be updated (ones available). It will do a “sync” if it detects an iPod plugged in. Edit script with any text editor and change line4 as needed.

A often gripe heard about podcasts is, iTunes seems to update them on wimp (well, not really, but since nothing is documented...) Just run this baby when u wanna "update them NOW, dang it!"

Enjoy!
