It doesnt work, something with the line:
set this_number to number_to_text(this_number)

yo, I figured out the prb! you need to add a function. I just added it and it works 100%!

erm add this
on number_to_text(this_number)
set this_number to this_number as text
if this_number contains "E+" then
set x to the offset of "." in this_number
set y to the offset of "+" in this_number
set z to the offset of "E" in this_number
set the decimal_adjust to characters (y - (length of this_number)) thru ?
-1 of this_number as string as number
if x is not 0 then
set the first_part to characters 1 thru (x - 1) of this_number as string
else
set the first_part to ""
end if
set the second_part to characters (x + 1) thru (z - 1) of this_number as string
set the converted_number to the first_part
repeat with i from 1 to the decimal_adjust
try
set the converted_number to ?
the converted_number & character i of the second_part
on error
set the converted_number to the converted_number & "0"
end try
end repeat
return the converted_number
else
return this_number
end if
end number_to_t

Thanks man. You could've just linked me to the subroutine at apple though :)

why haven't we got a background-gallery?

why indeed ;)

still doesn't work-when will it be updated?

i don't think that there'll be an update. they're going to move the server the next week and nobody is able to upload anything.

I've updated it twice. IF it still doesn't work, then I don't know what's wrong.

Can I post my version as ZIP on my server, and see what that does for people?

I vote yes - Reikon?

Go for it....

Ok this one works for me.... I have placed the file here: Click Here and if I cant post links, the actual URL is http://files.optimalconnection.net/...oweriaa.zip

cool, but our code is exactly the same from what I can tell, except I changed "this_number" to "the_number"...

I realize that HAHAH, erm, but it works for me 100%.. so IDK maybe a copying error? Did It work for u? (I would assume so)... Its weird that it doesnt work for others..

Now it should work for everyone. Tell me if it doesn't. (fix was easy, but we were all perplexed why it didn't work for you, yet worked for me.)

Erm.. Interesting choice of a background image....

This tells me that I have 103 mp3s... Are you sure about this? I definitely have around 14000.

Well...
-It only counts .mp3 files (not aiff or acc or m4p, or m3p, etc)
-It only counts the .mp3 files in your ~/Music/ folder

If you have them someplace else (you shouldn't if you use iTunes) it won't count them.

Reikon: iTunes itself has a feature to use a folder outside of ~/Music/
And I think it'll be easily fixed to do that… but then again, I don't know the iTunes Dictionary…

I know this, however, polling iTunes for this location either requires, or causes iTunes to open, a situaiton I was attempting to avoid with this script.

Then use an if else statement!

But then I'll get people complaining it doesn't work properly unless iTunes is running..lmfao...okok ok i get the point!

umm, does this assume that all the songs I have are pirated? And it only lists 1070 songs... I have over 10 000 in total, so why not count those?

It shows that I have 1 mp3 where I have more than 800

Look up in the comments Huevoos and Impulse :D

Who is that in the background image?

u should send me the background image lol

Also, it doesn't count AACs or MOvs, for those of you that have taken advantage of the little-documented video feature in iT 4.8 (which may herald a video iPod? We can hope.)

okto: that was already mentioned :D

If you change the "set j"-line to "set j to do shell script "locate *.mp3" as string" you'll get a system-wide result and it's MUCH faster than using find.
BTW, I owe the RIAA $1,1,382,000 (7588 mp3s).

Or use:
mdfind "kMDItemDisplayName == '*.mp3'wc"
Probably faster than locate since it’s Spotlight UNIX-ified

And for those who don't have Tiger?

I just used iTunes' dictionary. Try the new release and tell me what you think. :)

Hi yeah the main DL doesn't work..so Dled from Kyle and it works but only sees one mp3 cause I keep my Mp3's on another Sytem on the network using 0.88 in OSX 10.4.4


Thanx for this !!

Kyle's download is gone, and the main DL doesn't work. Any chance of an update so that this will work with the current iTunes?

script doesnt work on 1.4.1
