Neither is stupendously fast; the bottleneck is definitely issuing the individual delete commands for each track. Both took around 30 minutes to execute. It seems to take around one second for a delete command to take effect, judged solely on watching the total track count decrease one by one. Anyhow, while not great, it's fast enough for me. Thanks for all the help. Actually, I have one final question: is it possible for handles to "time out?" I remember seeing such an error once in my life in an earlier time playing with appscript, but the version of the script at that time was so inefficient . Given that I have times as long as 30-45 minutes from .get()ting the handle to calling .remove() on it, it seems possible I might elapse some kind of sanity check timers.
