Create iTunes playlists of rarely-played albums via script
Authored by: soundsgoodtome on Oct 02, '07 09:17:03PM
A bit of perspective might be helpful to some:

I have 6,500 tracks, and "Dustier" found one that hadn't been played for 1,200 days. I entered "1" as the cutoff, switched to Safari, and got lost in other stuff.... Approx. 10 mins. later, the iTunes icon bounced (I'd literally forgotten about the script), and there were 1,300 tracks in the "Dustier" playlist.

So depending upon the amount of data to be processed, this can take several minutes. (Those for whom the scripts don't seem to be working may simply need to allow more time.)

NOTE: Although the new playlist is created immediately, it will be empty! But the script is still working. (I did not observe if the playlist populates gradually, while working, or suddenly, after completion.)

The playlist populates gradually (in the order they are listed in the Library).

If anyone is wondering whether or not it is failing. Open the script in Script Editor and run it from there. If it bails out, it will give you an error of some kind. If used from the Menu Bar, you won't hear anything about it.

Thank you.
