Am I missing something obvious, or is there no way to sync the Trackstat
info from the squeezebox back to Mac iTunes?

If that interpretation is correct, does anyone else have this issue and
have an interest in getting a Mac version of TrackStatiTunesUpdate going
that would enable this on Macintosh? I should note I may have a peculiar
issue since I'm running squeezebox on a windows server and doing
everything else from itunes mac.

I have taken a quick look at the perl code in TSITWin, and don't think
this should be too hard to implement in Applescript (perhaps calling
perl when needed), although my skills in both are sorely lacking.

As I see it, there are only three major steps to this working in
theory:
-code to parse the Trackstat history files. Pretty straightforward.
-searching within the iTunes library using iTunes (mac) calls in
Applescript (hopefully some reasonable sync logic).
-Once a match is made, passing the message to iTunes to change the
rating and last played info; from my quick research, this looks dead
simple.

Some dialog boxes, etc., to select the right history files and
locations round out what is needed.

Alternatively, it seems that the iTunes history file (xml) could be
modified directly, and if the binary file is removed, itunes will use
the xml file. That seems a wee bit more dangerous, however, and
presumably is the reason this wasn't used on the windows side.

Anyone interested or have insights into this?
