Playlist Tracks to ChapterTool XML v1.2

  • build type: Plain AppleScript
  • written by Doug Adams
  • latest version posted: Jul 22, 2005
  • latest version downloads: 896 | total downloads: 952

This script will allow you to select a playlist, or tracks in a playlist, and use those tracks' names and times in creating a "basic" XML file for use with creating a "gapless" chapterized audio file using Apple's ChapterTool. The XML file created will still need to be edited to include artwork or links. You should be familiar with ChapterTool because I'm afraid I can't tutor you on it! See this great tutorial.

This script will display how long it will be before the selected track plays after the current track in the same Playlist. I highly recommend assigning this script a Shortcut.

If the stream you are listening to provides the information correctly, you can run this script to grab the artist and song name of the currently playing song in the stream and initiate a search for it in the iTunes Music Store. Results are not always fruitful.
