Add missing tracks to local iTunes

Paul Westbrook | 23 June, 2006 22:09

I have been getting bored with the music selection that I have on my iPod.  Since my laptop only has a subset of our total music collection, the iPod only has music from this set.

I wanted to make sure that the iTunes Library on my laptop had access to all of the music on the Mac mini, so I wrote the following script.  What it does is:

  • Iterates through the iTunes library on the Mac mini
  • For each track that is a MP3 of unprotected AAC file, checks with the local iTunes to see if a track with the same title, artist, and album exists
  • If no track exists, it adds a link to the remote file mounted via afp.

This script is not is not optimized, but it works.  And I am only planning on letting it run once.
