An AppleScript to copy iTunes songs to an archive server
Authored by: windrag on Nov 04, '07 11:52:28PM

I tried these scripts, and they appeared to work great–iTunes opened up on the server, the songs showed up in a new playlist. However, when I do a cmd+R on the server machine, the files appear in the trash. Browsing to the iTunes Music folder shows that the files do not reside in the folder (the Artist and Album folders do exist).

I double-checked that my preferences are indeed set to Copy files into the iTunes Music folder, and the music drive is set to ignore permissions. The iTunes Music folder resides on a FireWire drive connected to the server Mac.

Any ideas?

I figured out the problem I was having. I opened the Workflow and looked at all of the options listed. In Step 4 (Get Specified Finder Items) there are Files/Folder options. I changed this from Use Results from Previous Action to Ignore Results fro Previous Action, and then resaved the workflow as an application. Then everything worked as described.
