In the middle of a song, I might think, okay this is the last time I wanna hear it but dont want to have to pull up iTunes to change it if in fact it was on repeat.

Thanks again!

How did you get so good at script writing?

I’ll definitely be reading the blog more often…

property oldRepeatType : ""
 
tell application "iTunes"
	if oldRepeatType is "" then
		set oldRepeatType to all
	end if
	set repeatType to get song repeat of current playlist
	if repeatType is not one then
		set oldRepeatType to repeatType
		set song repeat of current playlist to one
	else
		set song repeat of current playlist to oldRepeatType
	end if
end tell

Let me know if it works for you, or what errors it produces.

I am often on a random playlist and hear a song I want to hear again and don’t want to have to switch to iTunes to turn repeat on and then off again. I also don’t want to just rewind to beginning as the song doesn’t get the “play count”.

Then I would be able to trigger this script with a keystroke.

ANY SUGGESTIONS!

thanks!

But the more i search the more questions i came up with. But, here are my top 2.

1. where do i place the scripts

2. they are auto running correct? in other words i dont have to run the script every time i start itunes correct?

How about trying something like this:

tell application "iTunes"
	play
	repeat with i from 1 to 1000
		next track
		delay 15
	end repeat
end tell

where 1 to 1000 is just a “large loop”, I’m sure there’s an easy way to have an infinite loop in applescript but it doesn’t pop in my head right now. Also the “delay 15″ part will let the current song play for 15 seconds before moving on to the next track. Modify to your enjoyment.

This is obviously really crude and can probably handle a lot of improvement, but I don’t see a way of getting rid of the loop/delay part of the program which is what bugs me. To stop this you’ll have to terminate the applescript.

Thanks in advance
