Hi hamedredrose,

it seems that you took an older code-version as your source for the needed changes.
There is a bug again in your versions with double quotation marks, that was corrected by dano in 2013.
[WS] iTunes
If an artist, an album or a track-title has double-quotation marks in it, all content after this quotation mark is cut off.
Look for yourself and for example search for:
Artist: Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Album: The Letting Go
where as artist only Bonnie is shown.
or
Artist: Duke Ellington
Album: Jazz Moods: Hot
where track 13 should show Take the "A-Train" and instead only shows Take The

At the moment I am looking over my previous working script without that bug but I am not able to find the responsive code difference.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your effort.

@SLB

Did you try them?

Yes, I tried the german version so far.
There is still the bug with the cutoff behind the quotation marks.

try it

there is still a problem with the track in the track list, using this as an example...

Artist: Duke Ellington
Album: Jazz Moods: Hot
where track 13 should show Take the "A-Train" and instead only shows Take The

will this problem also occur if other fields have "" contained in them?

I have no clue what I really did (because I don't really understand the code)
but I had a look at danos bug fix and compared it do hamedredroses latest update-version.
If I simply replace hamedredroses code

replace "\\\"" "\""

with danos code

replace "\\\"" """
replace "?uo=4" ""

at all 3 occuring positions all seems to be fine.

I think this thread with numerous download links has become very confusing. It is obvious that bug-fix-download-links can be easily overlooked and somebody capable should finally change the original download-link at the start of the thread.

Unfortunately, this is an exception
Other albums are displayed correctly

Hi, hamedredrose,

I have a request, can you make the iTunes Hongkong database file?

Thank you!

Thank you!

Have look further up in this thread (page 3 I think)
[WS] iTunes

There you find information how the script addresses local itunes data. Perhaps you can modify the script so that it looks at the Hongkong site.

I have just come across this. What a fantastic item of beauty. Thank you to you all.

I prefer to manually write my own tags in a lot of cases because I find a few databases have their own little quirks of inaccuracies.

With that in mind, if I wanted to alter the .src so the only thing it wrote to the files is the cover art (I have read the thread and found the sizing comment around 600x600 vs 1200x1200) what would I leave in and/or take out?

@drquack32

... if I wanted to alter the .src ... what would I leave in and/or take out?

Before you start to turn everything upside down, perhaps a different script for that purpose suits you just as well:
/t/2706/1

If that is ok, you might want to compare the 2 scripts and see what can be taken out.

ohrenkino directed you towards cover arts from other sources. If you’re still interested in iTunes:

If you look at the different sections of the .src file, you’ll see a heading called ‘Adjust Tag Information Dialog.’ Under that, keep until:

outputto "COVERURL"
regexpreplace "100x100" "1200x1200"
sayregexp "(?<="artworkUrl100":").+?(?=")" ", " "}"

Remove everything below this until:

TRACK LOOP

findline "wrapperType"" 2 1
do

Essentially, it is reading everything but writing just the cover art, if that makes sense.

Gentlemen

Thank you both very much.

Hello ,

Thanks for the very appreciated efforts to make the script work , the new modifications are great but still lack a lot of informations , especially the composer and the explicitness which is very important to every iTunes user . It has been years that i have been using a script which was uploaded to this forum some years ago until it broke lately . It had all the tags provided by iTunes . I have attached it to my comment hoping that someone who knows how to code finds what's there to modify in order for it to work . There's no need to rewrite everything because this script is just perfect.

The script for the US store of itunes is in the compressed file under the name "&iTunes#Music album US"

Thank you
