Applescript to create Shrook podcast playlist

Paul Westbrook | 02 June, 2005 21:51

I have been getting frustrated that the podcasts that were being put into iTunes from Shrook were not being put into a single playlist.  So I have been looking for some solutions.  I first tried to create a smart playlist, but you can not create rules based upon the location of the files.

I have been working on an AppleScript that would automatically copy the tracks from Shrook into a playlist.  Below is what I have come up with so far.

The problem with this implementation is that it iterates over every item in the iTunes Library, so it takes a long time.  I am going to change it so it only iterates over the files that have been downloaded by Shrook

What happens with old car designs?

Paul Westbrook | 02 June, 2005 21:40

What do car companies do with the designs of older model cars. I imagne that a car company could get extra money for licensing a design for a popular older car. I also imagine that for a car company that doesn't have a large R&D budget this would be a cheap way to get a good design for a car.

I actually think that this is happening already. Take a look at the 1999 Isuzu Oasis and the 1995 Honda Odyssey.

These look almost identical. If Honda did license the plans, I think that is is a great move on their part.
