Something else (maybe not a welcome suggestion on a Python list,
though)...
I just found this list of VBS scripts for interacting with iTunes:

That's not what you said at the start. Then, you said it
Ah, ok. Thanks for the info. So it sounds like iTunes may be doing something weird then. And thanks for your time. Have a good one.--Clayton MacleodIf no one comes from the future to stop you from doing it, then how bad of a decision can it really be?On Mar 6, 2023, at 9:09 PM, Mark Hammond wrote:

When you reference song.Name, COM defines how Python asks itunes for a

Perhaps I’m misunderstanding how those things work then. If I print song.Name
that isn’t simply printing from the script’s own data? That’s what I thought to
be happening. It is instead calling upon the iTunes app to get song.Name at
print time?

The code says it uses an existing playlist unless it doesn't exist.

I've got a small script to create/maintain a randomized rolling 25-song
playlist in iTunes which emulates some of the behaviour of an iTunes
feature called Party Shuffle or iTunes DJ, which was removed from the
iTunes app year ago. I've got its playback behaviour figured out and
