Does anyone know the syntax to make ‘Library’ the focus in iTunes?

Hi,
I’ve found the answer to my question. The syntax is ‘tell application “iTunes” to set shuffle of playlist “Library” to false’.
The problem I was having was regarding bookmarks for audio books. When I would go back to a bookmark I needed the shuffle option turned off in the ‘Library’ so I could listen to each chapter consecutively. The applescript I am using does this but only for the ‘library’ or ‘playlist’ which has the focus while leaving all others as they were.
OK, ok I’m rambling. I hope this helps someone else.

Cheers,
denns

I usually tell people to forget using names when referring to a playlist, especially the “Library”, which in French is “Bibliotheque” and German is “Bibliotek”. Use the index instead:

tell application "iTunes" to set shuffle of library playlist 1 to false
