Description
Experience Level: Expert
We are developing a cross-platform desktop media library application for Windows and Mac. As part of this application, we will be reading information from the iTunes library and importing it into our application. Since iTunes does not expose cover art information to external applications we need to export the cover art into a format that can then be imported it to our own application.
Our current requirement is for an AppleScript developer to write a script that performs the following tasks:
• Launch iTunes if it is not already running
• For each audio file in the iTunes library (including those in playlists), podcasts and audiobooks, extract the cover art and save it to a file named 'folder.png' in the same folder as the audio file is located. If the file already exists then skip the current track so that we don't get duplicates.
• Resize image file to 600*600 px if it is larger than those dimensions
• Create a file icon for the cover art
• If cover art is not embedded in audio file then embed it.
• Must work on all intel based macs (10.5 to 10.7 - Leopard to Lion)
• If iTunes was not running at start of process then quit iTunes
• Most of the required functionality can be lifted from http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=savealbumart and http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=embedart
