Creating symbolic links for iTunes Genius Playlists.

Scripting Forums AppleScript Studio & Xcode
#1

Guys, I have been playing a game which allows players to put symbolic links to their own MP3 files in a certain location, so that they will play in Game.

To that end, I would like to make a script to read my saved Genius Playlists, iterate through the songs on the list and create symbolic links to their actual location in my filesystem.

I looked in the iTunes Library and I found the noun “user playist” (but not a ‘genius’ playlist) and “file track” with the property “location”.

So I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions how and where I could start with this.

Thanks!

Every playlist can be specified with the noun playlist. Wether it’s a normal one, a smart one or a genius playlist.

tell application "iTunes" to get every track of playlist "Your Name"

Hope it helps,
