Scripts to manage iPod Mini selections from iTunes

Why use a script when you can use the "Get Info" command on selected songs to add or delete any comment you want all at once?

If you edit the comment field of multiple songs like that, then you cannot "add" another comment without affecting any previously filled in comment. It will change all songs to be the new comment exactly.

So, if I have two songs -- one with a comment "live, 1995", and the other with a different comment, then editing the comment like you proposed would delete the older comments, and each song would only have the "ipod mini" comment. The scripts are better in that regard. The choice between the script and old-fashioned drag/drop is one of personal preference, I think.

If your personal preference is to do thing real slow, that is. The drag-and-drop method is waay faster. I mean, everybody's free to do things the way they want but I what is this obsession with doing stuff that Apple already arranged for with an array of custom applescripts and weird playlists?
