For almost a year, I have been trying to figure out how create a list of songs that will link to the iTunes Music Store. I modified a script already posted here such that it would take the selected songs in iTunes, create the HTML code to link the songs to the store, and then copy the list to the clipboard. Here's the modified AppleScript.

Good effort, but your code got geeklogged. (i.e. completely destroyed) :(

* Slight misunderstanding there. Geeklog coded that correctly, but there was a mix-up about HTML/HTTP we sorted off-board. Cheers.

Here's yet another re-write. This version properly encodes spaces and exotic characters in the URL. I also substituted the more precise iTMS linking method used by iChat. Instead of just doing a basic search, it attempts to highlight the song directly in the correct album-view context. As far as I know this new linking format has not been seen on the internet, I stumbled on it while debugging iChat's interapplication events. Unfortunately Geeklog is horribly mangling my code and apparently has disabled the trusty AppleScript URI protocol, so here's the script on my homepage...

only works on non-Music Store selection
Just a quick note for those who may try - this doesn't work in the Music Store itself. In other words, you can't run this successfully by selecting a song IN the store - you have to select a song that is outside the store and this will create a link to look for that song in the store.

> I suppose you could drag the preview into a local playlist, select it there, and then run it.Great idea, that works!

PLEASE disregard my two posts at the top. I was looking at the original submitted script in a total different angle and missed the obvious. |
