iTunesUpdate doesn't use the iTunes library file, it communicates directly with

James,
Thanks for the clarification. Based on your suggestion, I checked out
the Readme file. I unchecked Direct Update. When I attempted to run

Or maybe one needs to explicitly call perl on the script e.g.
perl ./iTunesUpdate.pl /Volumes/media/Music/Playlists/iTunes_Hist.txt
I'm not really a Mac expert though.

the script - this is standard for unix like OSs.
