Automated ID3 tagging for iTunes on a Mac, based on AppleScript. Alter for your needs. Features intelligent genre tagging.

• Get tracks and albums from library and edit any ID3 field, ad-hoc

• Script your tagging preferences and easily apply them to newly imported tracks

• Gets genre information from Last.fm API

  • Can use the grouping field to fill in most popular Last.fm tags, which might look like “britpop indie madchester rock alternative british indie-rock alternative-rock manchester 80s”. This allows you to search across your library for stuff like “alt-country” or “minimal-techno” - a much more powerful and automated system for genre metadata

• sudo gem install active_tunes –source “gemcutter.org”

require 'active_tunes'
album = its.first.full_album   # its gets an array of selected tracks in iTunes
album.compilation = false
album.number_tracks

• edit tag function in track.rb and album.rb

• need to bundle shell script to launch this process

• Mac OS X

• rb-appscript
