I know this is an old post but:

Hold down shift and click on file in itunes then display exact duplicates.

I’m on Vista Home Premium, iTunes 10.0.1.22. I used to use scripts all the time, but since v9 or so of iTunes, I can’t. I have uninstalled iTunes with Revo to completely obliterate everything Apple. Defragged my registry, rebooted, reinstalled, and still the same problem – Windows Script Host Error 800200009
“Could not locate automation class named “iTunes.Application”.

iTunes does that by default. Make sure your Mp3 files have ID3v2 tags, and iTunes will put album art into them.

Hi Otto,

have you by any chance written a script that embeds automatically downloaded album artwork into the id3 tags of the files in my iTunes?

Thanks for the other scripts, they really really helped to clean up my library

[...] var iTunesApp = WScript.CreateObject("iTunes.Application"); var mainLibrary = iTunesApp.LibrarySource.Playlists.ItemByName("Favorite Soundtracks"); var mainTracks = mainLibrary.Tracks; var numMainTracks = mainTracks.Count; var i; for (i = 1; i <= numMainTracks; i++) { var currTrack = mainTracks.Item(i); currTrack.Grouping = "Strack List"; } Original idea taken from here: http://ottodestruct.com/blog/2005/itunes-javascripts/ [...]

Could not locate automation class named ‘iTunes.Application’.

I still get this error in iTunes 9.x when running the append to comments script. I have COMPLETELY removed itunes, Bonjour, Quicktime, Apple Supports, yada yada yada from my machine and reinstalled. Still doesn’t work.

Is there a .reg file or something I can load to get the automation class?

I’ve read a few comments back and forth about comments field scripting and wondered if any final version of a script was ever created that would append comments (rather than overwrite) to a number of selected songs. iTunes 9.x on Windows actually broke the itunes.application, not a bad installation.

Any comments I may have made on that subject was at least 2 or 3 years ago, and those scripts no longer work, which is why they’re not here. I don’t write these sort of scripts anymore, much.

But they’re not hard to create yourself. Examine the sample scripts I wrote above, read the iTunes COM SDK document, and make one up yourself. It’s easy to do.

Hello,

I ‘upgraded’ my itunes and it wiped out my playlists. On the Apple forum there is mention that you have a javascript that can get my playlist back from the ipod_control folder. I can’t seem to find this on your website and the link in the forum is broken.

I don’t necessarily need the songs transferred. All I really need is the names of the songs and the order. I can always recreate the playlist.

Thanks in advance.
Heidi
