Move file to

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

I would like to automate the following:

  1. I’m using App. “Audio Hijack” to record a internet radio program at specific time monday to thursday. The recorded file becomes an aiff.

  2. When the radio program is finished I would like the script to get the aiff file convert it to mp3 and delete and trash the aiff file.

  3. I would like the script to name the file text that I have in the clipboard.

Is this possible??? I have tried to do this myself but am not a programmer and I just get stuck. Maybe someone can help??

There is code in Make MP3 Audio Book that shows you how to convert an AIFF to MP3 via iTunes and delete the original AIFF file. (The app actually makes the AIFF file from a text file but still, the code you need is in there.)

There are all sorts of ways to launch a script at a specific time (see iCal, CronniX, chrono-pouet, or iDo Script Scheduler, among others). If I had a nickel for every time someone asks about scheduling scripts…
