Hi,

I've been desperately trying to get either iTunesUpdate or
TrackStat/CustomScan to work for exporting rating stats to iTunes. It
does not work on Mac OS X (Snow Leopard). I've posted this issue before
back in March. In the meantime there have been many error reports from
other users on this forum. To sum up:

- iTunesUpdate as well as the TrackStatiTunesUpdate.pl script from
TrackStat rely on the Mac::AppleScript::Glue module. This module
translates Perl code to AppleScript.
- The execution of both results in an error -1753 (within the server
log for iTunesUpdate, and within Terminal for TrackStat).
- It seems the problem is with the Glue package. The latest version
0.03 dates back to the year 2002. There are no updates and the homepage
of the developer does not exist anymore (see
http://search.cpan.org/~jlabovitz/Mac-AppleScript-Glue-0.03/Glue.pm).
- The package installed without errors on my system via CPAN. When
trying to reinstall Mac::AppleScript::Glue or
Mac::AppleScript::Glue::Application or Mac::AppleScript::Glue::Object
or Mac::AppleScript, CPAN states that all packages are installed and
that there are no updates available.
- I'm running Mac OS X 10.5 with Squeezebox Server 7.5.1 and iTunes
10.

First, I'd like to know if there is anyone with this configuration for
whom iTunesUpdate or TrackStat's iTunes Export is actually working? If
so we could try to figure out what they have done differently.

I can do some AppleScript'ing, however, unfortunately I have never
touched Perl so far. It would take months for me to translate the Perl
script to AppleScript. Is there someone who has translated the Perl
scripts into AppleScript? This really would be an option as the history
files from iTunesUpdate or TrackStat/CustomScan get written properly. I
know James is on a Windows machine, but Erland has access to a Mac.
Erland, are you running Squeezebox Server on Linux or on Mac? Maybe we
could try to translate your script to AppleScript together?

IMHO, it would really be a big win to get rating sync working between
iTunes and Squeezebox Server.

Thanks,
Thomas
