Thanks for the info. That sounds like a pretty standard setup then
(and it's identical to mine, with which I'm not experiencing any
issues).
What is causing the problem I don't know. It definately seems to be an
issue with the AppleScript-support of version 7.6.1. The only solution
for the time until Apple fixes the problem seems to downgrade to
iTunes 7.6 (the same user I mentioned previously wrote me that the
problem disappeared for him after doing so).
In the meantime, try running this AppleScript snippet in Script
Editor.app (/Applications/AppleScript):
tell application "iTunes"
{artist, duration, rating, album, genre, name, id, year, persistent
ID, database ID} of current track
end tell
It shouldn't take longer than the fraction of a second.
And then
tell application "iTunes"
data of artworks of current track
end tell
which shouldn't take longer than 5 seconds (mainly because Script
Editor needs to display binary data as hex values).
Does iTunes hang on your machine on either of the two scripts?
Best regards,
