Artists and albums don’t really exist, other than as properties of tracks, so they have no ID to speak of. We could pass along the “criteria” that make up those objects, then you’d have to write some AppleScript to pull it apart and turn it into a search for the right tracks. This is how Quicksilver turns it into a list of tracks internally. But then, you’d also need to be able to differentiate between things based on criteria and things based on ID. What the OP wants to do might make more sense as a script in `~/Library/iTunes/Scripts` that operates on the selected tracks in iTunes. A much more labor-intensive interface, I know, but all the metadata is guaranteed to be there. If this is going to be a shell script anyway, you might look at using Scripting Bridge via Python to talk to iTunes, or going directly to the XML copy of the iTunes library using Python’s plistlib. -- Rob McBroom <http://www.skurfer.com/> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quicksilver" group.
