I have absolutely no idea why it worked. I can't seem to reproduce it, either. All I remember is that it tried to change the permissions of one specific album, and failed, and decided not to finish the installation.

Just as a special not to everyone:
I originally had troubles installing AdiTunes because the permissions of some of my music files were to restricted. While I don't recommend users do this without understand what it does, I do have this suggestion:
- Get info on your iTunes folder. Fold out the Ownership and Permissions widget.
- Authenticate by clicking the lock and entering your password.
- Under the Others group, change the menu to Read and Write.
- Click "Apply to enclosed items..."

That solved my problem.

AdiTunes not only sends a link to the specific user you wish to send it to, but also creates a web page on your computer. This webpage is not unique to each user you send the link to, so all users will be able to view it.

This is actually how the script is set to run, unfortunately. To avoid issues with iTunes not playing a song and producing bad AdiTunes data, it looks like the script was written to just start the song.

Personally, I changed this script to %_AdiTunes so it would update whenever a user viewed my profile/away message. This means I needed to turn off the auto-play part of the script so that people wouldn't turn on my iTunes every time they checked my profile.

If you want, it's pretty easy to change the script to not auto-play, but you'll need to handle the case where iTunes isn't playing, then. If you change the script, make sure you respect 2manydjs, too. He's done an amazing job on this one.

Typo in the installer!
