My dear Scott,
Thanks, I just reposted for more info. I do need a windows solution
if at all possible.
I am going to look into the XML file and what I can do with it. Also
your stack looks interesting and I will play with it later. Looks
good though.
Right now I would very much like to 'talk" to iTunes from both
windows and the mac. But on the mac side it seems very doable, it is
the windows side I am concerned about.
This project seems like I could do any number of things with it. I
nee to grasp what is actually doable at this point but an external
would be great. I am looking into it. So many people (on the mac
side) have written co-apps to go along with iTunes that the item in
question may already be out there.
This is my project so I will be sharing what ever I find with the list.
Thanks again,
Tom

I have a project that involves iTunes. I want to extract locally a

I figure I can use Applescript on the Mac but I don't know about
iTunes for Windows. Is anyone familiar with doing things like this on
Windows?
You might be interested in this library for the Mac side:

But if you're only using a few functions and are comfortable with
AppleScript than it may be overkill for your needs.
What are the options available? On the extraction side can I use an
output from iTunes? Is there an XML file etc.?
On the importing side is it acceptable to just ask the user to drop/
import a folder into iTunes from my output? Or is there a way to send
a command to iTunes to tell it to do the import?
I am just starting this project and any and all help or input is
greatly appreciated.
As Sims suggested, you might be able to parse an XML file to get
what you
need. If you're looking to *talk* to iTunes, you need to use COM,
according
to Apple. An SDK is here:

If you build an external, please let me know. I've been interested
in this
for months.
