An AppleScript to 'convert and remove' songs from iTunes
Authored by: rojerww on Apr 05, '07 01:09:18PM

I have tried a few of the AppleScripts from Doug's site, but I can not get them to work for me. I have two seperate and very large iTunes libraries, one ~230GB and one ~450GB, both on external HD's. I had edited two of the scripts to point to the external libraries, but they just took a long time to do nothing.

I would like a separate program to help do the following:

Walk either (or both) of the external hard drives, delete exact duplicates and move a copy in a different format to the other hard drive. I would like to do this from outside of iTunes, keep correct tags and artwork. I'll rebuild the libraries and playlist afterwards.

My goal - one iTunes library with Apple Lossless and Protected AAC's (purchased from iTunes Music Store) and one iTunes library with MP3's and non-protected AAC's. For all of my Apple Lossless files (created from my personal collection of over 600 cd's) - I want a duplicate MP3 version in the other library.
