Ah, GUI scripting. That could work, provided one already has the main
iTunes window open and active. The key bit from woo's script, for
those who want to build one tailored to Quicksilver, is
tell application "System Events"
tell process "iTunes" to click the first button of window
"iTunes" whose help is "Start Genius."
end tell
woo's full script contains various error handers and such, which will
be helpful.
For me, the point of controlling iTunes with QS is that I don't need
to have the iTunes window open. But for those whose goal is not to use
the mouse, rather than not to have the window open, a QS action based
on woo's script should do the job.
