HI Alex,

Yes that does work for me in two steps, but I cannot get it to work in one.

Thank You!

You could try:

set myPath to get the location of the current track
set myPOSIXPath to POSIX path of myPath

(or perhaps combine into one statement, which I think should work.)

Hi Gregory,

What is the proper way to convert an HFS Path to a POSIX path?

The proper way is to make whatever effort you can to avoid having an HFS path to worry about in the first place. So if you have any control over that end of things, I'd say avoid it. In particular, if you're storing a file reference for any length of time, prefer aliases.

It is an Option is AS can do it.

I do:

tell application "iTunes"
                                set myTrack to get the name of the current track
                                set myArtist to get the artist of the current 
track
                                set myAlbum to get the album of the current 
track
                                set myPath to get the location of the current 
track
end tell

'myPath' is an HFS path. I know when using the choose file dialog I can do this:

set selectedFile to POSIX file (choose file)

but I am not sure when I get the information directory from iTunes.

I then take the 'myPath' and pass to Objective-C for working with it.
