Welll, with version 4.0.1, Apple fixed a little issue my scripts have been having with shared playlists (Thanks guys!!!). So, the update to that update is out.
As it turns out, the method I had chosen to deal with 4.0's little issues allowed me to handle the 4.0.1 update with relative ease…
What I had done was simply add an error - checking, or "Try" block to the section of code that grabs the track info. If there was an error, then we assumed that it was a shared playlist error, and changed the signature in E'rage or Mail to handle that.
Well, now with 4.01, we have fewer error conditions. So, all I had to do was check the version of iTunes. If it's less tha 4.01, then we do the "Shared playlists don't work, yadda." Otherwise, the sig changes to "iTunes is haveing issues right now."
So, by blind luck, I was able to keep the same code working for really different features.
Gotta love providence.
The updated Entourage sigfromiTunes script, and the Mail version are now available for your enjoyment.
