The apple script commands below appear to do what you want.
tell application "iTunes" to set loved of current track to true
or
tell application "iTunes" to download the current track
Now let me see if I actually loved that Bruce Springsteen song. Yes, Loved is
now checked. There is a separate dislike and also a rating from 1 to 100. I am
not sure if the latter is able to be manually set. There are also separate
properties for album loved and album dislike .
You should be able to put either or both of these two lines into an
AppleScript file and then assign a commander to it. I am not quite sure what
would happen if iTunes is not playing a track, you might get a nasty little
error.
If you do, then wrapping the above in a AppleScript try .. on error .. end try
would eliminate the error.
Best wishes,
Jonathan Cohn
