Main: Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes:

Updated: Just Play This One

One thing that always irks me (and any programmer, I'm sure) is when you read that someone recommends your software and then someone else says "I tried that and it didn't work." Geez, it worked at my house! Case in point: Just Play This One. I've updated this script that will let you select a single song, and have iTunes play it and stop. In the previous version of this script, I used all kinds of convoluted figgerin' to determine when a song had finished playing. Duh. I got a hint from a post at the Apple boards (the link for which I have lost!): copy the song to its own temporary playlist and play the playlist. Genius! The script can observe when the playlist has stopped, delete the temporary playlist, and quit itself. Works so much better!
