XENOPHILE  Lame.

Free scripts that complete these tasks can be found in minutes using The Google. Reputable shareware developers distribute scripts like these for free, while charging for actual applications.

WHOCARES742  I'm not quite sure how the developer can justify charging $25 for essentially compiling a bunch of free scripts written by someone else (www.dougscripts.com). While I appreciate the time it takes to combine them into a single interface, I think the money should go to the person actually writing the scripts, and yes, I have donated money to Doug's scripts. The scripts work great in iTunes without having to open up a separate program (iTunify) every time you want to make a change. Some of the scripts I use most often are not even included in iTunify.

DAVINCI  Hello jwaads,

>> I'm not quite sure how the developer can justify charging $25 <<

Actually iTunify is 15$.

>> for essentially compiling a bunch of free scripts written by someone else (www.dougscripts.com). <<

There is one (speak "o n e") script where Doug allowed me to use parts of his code. And this code is not even applescript code. It's one single Unix comman-line which I then customized and enhanced. (Source script: "Corral All Dupes")

All other lines of applescript/command-line code are written by myself! I don't steal code. Stealing code is for n00bs.

And the code contribution from Doug is public, as you can see in the app's About Box, which is a common method.

>> While I appreciate the time it takes to combine them into a single interface, <<

Days of work, indeed.

>> I think the money should go to the person actually writing the scripts, <<

So, that's me then.

And by the way:

The total code of iTunify has 199546 characters and 5120 lines of code.

At a prize of 15$ that's 0.000075 USD per character written by me. Even a charwoman wouldn't work for such a salary…

And you honestly think this is not worth paying 15$ for?

>> and yes, I have donated money to Doug's scripts. <<

Nice. He will appreciate it.

>> The scripts work great in iTunes without having to open up a separate program (iTunify) every time you want to make a change. <<

If you think your scripts do your tasks just well, then I have nothing to say against that.

Just let me show you my point of view:

You can either have an iTunes Script menu of about 50+ scripts or you can just use iTunify which (in the most recent version 1.4) is able to replace about 70+ of the most popular scripts from dougscripts.com.

Once again: iTunify = power of more than 70 popular scripts!

And do scripts have a GUI? Dialog windows, yeah. But a GUI that's fun to work in? No.

If you're an applescript nerd then feel free to use your tons of scripts. But what if you're a Mac user who does not want those oldstyle applescript dialogs? What if you want a graphical readout of your options chosen for this or that script?

Or what if you want to save a search/replace pattern as template for further usage?

It's the workflow and feeling that makes the difference.

(And iTunify is - in many cases - much more customizable than similiar scripts)

>> Some of the scripts I use most often are not even included in iTunify. <<

May I ask what scripts you are referring to? There are dozens of scripts of which most people don't know they can be replaced by iTunify.

I would like to hear from you via email.

Cheers,

Ps: Maybe next time you could contact the developer and ask for details before you give his app a 2of5 rating. That would just be fair.

For you it's just a click - the developer it's an eminent harm.

IZZAT  Dear Vincent.

I just want to complement you on you handling of the review. To many a-time developers get in to a rather pointless discussion that only leeds destructive back and forth allegations. This, I think, is the way to do it. After all, it is a customer and the customer "is all ways right" and entitled to his/her opinion, which is not to be taken personally. Provided with relevant info and the additional info he/she should be content, do their evaluation and make their decision whether to accept what's offered or not. And this my friend you accomplished to a tee.

Well done!

CA  I use it every day and I can't live without it. Powerful and efficient. And the developer responded promptly to my emails.

I'm extremely picky about the title tracks in my playlists and like to add info about the CDs so iTunify is very useful to me. I recommend it.

BABY BLOC  Interesting interface; what are "templates?"

Is there anything here I can't already do with the hundreds of free scripts from the crankin' scriptors at Doug's Applescripts for iTunes?

I know I was intimidated with setting up my first script, but the folks were sooo helpful, and now I use at least one of them almost every time I open iTunes.

—Google Art, Add 1/2 Star to Rating, Check Mark (inverts checks of selections), Replace Text, Append to Selected Tag... the list is long, and you can pick and choose to fit. Me? The last thing I do almost every night is Timer Fade Out, so iTunes slowly fades and puts my mac to sleep, just like me.

All that's free. 25$ seems a bit steep here.
