hello

i am trying to make a auto import script for itunes

but i am getting this errors

---------------------------

AutoIt Error

---------------------------

Line 83 (File "C:\Users\Koos\Documents\AutoIt\scripts\iTunes.au3"):

$Playlist_Handle.ItemByName($PlayList_Name).AddTrack($sng_nm)

$Playlist_Handle.ItemByName($PlayList_Name).AddTrack($sng_nm)^ ERROR

Error: The requested action with this object has failed.

i am using iTunes UDF

my code is

#include <File.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
#include "iTunes.au3"
$sPath="C:\Users\Public\Music\Sample Music"
$input= " "
$PlayListName="top 40"
Local $FileList = _FileListToArray($sPath ,"*.mp3",0); get all mp3 files in the map
If @error = 1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "", "No Folders Found.")
    Exit
EndIf
If @error = 4 Then
    MsgBox(0, "", "No Files Found.")
    Exit
EndIf
_iTunes_Start()
;For $i=1 To $FileList[0]    ;$FileList [0] is the amount of mp3 files in the folder
;$path=$sPath&"\"&$FileList[$i] ;at the file name to the path
;_iTunes_Library_AddTrack($path)   ; import the file to itunes
;Next
For $i=1 to $FileList[0]     ; remove te .mp3 extrention so the song name remains
   $RemoveText= ''
   $input = $FileList[$i]
   $Input = StringReplace ($Input, ".mp3", $RemoveText)  ;Scans $Input for .mp3 and replaces it with $RemoveText
  
Next
For $i=1 to $FileList[0]
  MsgBox ('0', "test", $FileList[$i])
  _iTunes_PlayList_Add($PlayListName, $FileList[$i])   ;at the songs i just importet to my playlist
  
Next
Exit

could it be that iTunes UDF to old is and no longer works

(sorry for bad English)

Just use _iTunes_Library_AddTrack() with a full path to a file by itself and see if you can get the function working at all... like this:

_iTunes_Library_AddTrack("C:UsersPublicMusicSample MusicSampleSong.mp3")

If that works then add a line after "$path = $sPath & "" & $FileList[$i]" to output the contents of $path before you try to use the _iTunes_Library_AddTrack() method on it:

ConsoleWrite("$path = " & $path & @CRLF) or MsgBox(0, "$path", $path)

[loek17]

putting the full path in the function didn't work

although if i use msgbox and 1 cop the path and launch it it will work

it think the iTunes udf is broken

i am now going to try it by launching the path with shellexecute

What's that mean?

it think the iTunes udf is broken

I just downloaded the COM documentation and it hasn't changed in two years. Though possible, it seems unlikely that Apple broken the underlying function that the UDF uses.

i am now going to try it by launching the path with shellexecute

Launching what exactly? You mean associate MP3 files with iTunes then launch the MP3 so that iTunes automatically imports it?

i got it running now

i needed to use _addfile instat of _addtrack
