EDITOR NOTES
Note: Version 9 of iTunes uses webkit to display the store content. This means it actually displays web pages inside iTunes. Unfortunately these pages aren't accessible through AppleScript. Or, at least, I don't know of any way they would be.

iTunes Music Store Player only works with the non-web-based listings. This means you have to use the column browser (cmd-B).

DESCRIPTION
iTunes Music Store Player allows you to play multiple tracks off of the iTunes Music Store without having to manually double click and start playing the next one.

Usage example:

  • go to the music store (in iTunes 4) and do a search on "jazz". it will spit out a list of 250 songs. iTunesMSP will automatically play them all. do some work, and if you like a song, switch to itunes and buy it... ;-)
  • open a list of radio stations, like "Electronica". it will play each station for the amount of seconds you specify.
  • of course you can also use it on your regular play lists...

Functionality:

  • you can adjust the amount of seconds you would like to hear of a track.
  • you can check "Backwards" and it will play the list backwards.
  • if you check "Disable" iTunesMSP will be disabled.

KEN BURNS EFFECT  Works with 10.5 Leopard!

And Tiger of course.

Perfect for listening to album samples, no need to manually select tunes.

Maybe it did crash once or twice in the past, I don't remember, also displays an error message if iTunes quit while ITMSP is running.

Minor problems in a very handy app.

KEN BURNS EFFECT  As I said it works fine in Leopard and iTMS!

It also does a good job if you want to hear samples in ordinary playlists.

ANONYMOUS  Here's the most *awesome* use for it I just discovered:

-- Go to the iTunes Music Store and click on "Billboard Charts"...

-- Click on "Billboard Top 100" and pick your favorite musical year...

-- Launch the iTunes Music Store Player, sit back and take a trip down memory lane - 30 seconds at a time! :-)

Cool!

ANONYMOUS  As someone said before, it would be great if it would stop at the end of a album/playlist/search result. Other than that: GREAT!

ANONYMOUS  I just tried to use iMSP, but it bails before an icon even forms in the dock- I'm using OS X (10.3.7) and iTunes 4.7.1 (30) on a 800 Mhz G3 iBook-

any known conflicts?

Without a console output I can't do much. It works fine here, OS X 10.3.8, iTunes 4.7.1.

Send me an email with any further questions. You'll find my email on http://www.sichtwerk.com (use the ch one)

Cheers,

MICHAEL CUTTS  I get the same behavior- the icon appears in the dock for a split second, then dissapears. Running OS X 10.3.4 and iTunes 4.7.1.

Launched the Console, which I'm mostly unfamilar with, and scanned it for applicable messages, but I don't see any occurring even in the last 10 minutes, and I just launched the app a few times since then. Is there someplace special I should look for messages?

CEES  Excellent. Just when I started to get annoyed about the lack of a complete abum playback in the Music Store.

Thanks
