Quickly capitalize each word in an iTunes title.

Overview

iTunes Capitalizer is a Applescript driven by Perl to quickly capitalize each word in a selection of iTunes music. For example: "a song like this" would become "A Song Like This" (Capitalize) "A Song Like This" would become "a song like this" (Lowercase) "a song like this" would become "A SONG LIKE THIS" (Uppercase) Processing songs by Name, Artist, Album, and Genre all at once is achievable as well as individually. This script comes with an installer to make sure that it goes in the right place on your system. Older copies will automatically be updated as well. You can access the script via the iTunes script menu. Look for: (NNSW) iTunes Capitalizer

Thank you so much for creating this! I had a whole playlist full of uncapitalized songs, and I used to go through individually and fix each one. Now, I can just select however many I want and have it done automatically! Thanks so much once again. PS- I noticed that this said it was for PPC Macs, but it runs fine on my Intel mac.

This works great for keeping your iPod duplicate free. Great app, never had a prob. esp. effective if you select an entire album or command+A any of your iTunes in a list to try it.

Why does every thing in brackets goes from (_) to ( _ ). Can you remove these extra spaces taht are added? Also anything separated with a slash goes from Beatles/Lennon to Beatles/lennon. Except for these 2 glitches, it rocks!

Version 1.04

Feature request: Can you add a feature to replace underscores ("_") with spaces, and to affect the case of the extension only (i.e., ".MP3" to ".mp3"...? Great work. Ken

Ambitious. The problem is that using proper grammar in the title of a musical or literary work, not every work is capitalized. For example: "The Song Remains the Same." In this case "The Song Remains The Same" is incorrect, the second "the" should not be capitalized.

> For example: > "The Song Remains the Same." In this case > "The Song Remains The Same" is incorrect, > the second "the" should not be capitalized. actually, no. Current publishing convention, for whatever reasons, capitalizes the first letter of ALL words in a song title. Albums, CDs or anthology titles however, do revert to traditional grammer... ie: if the track, "The Song Remains The Same" is the title cut then the album is "The Song Remains the Same." Weird, but true. Caveat: not all artists adhere to this convention - some use no caps !! - but labels and publishers, like politicians, often ignore the lowly content creators. cool script btw Ian.. many thanks, db

Actually, no. You're wrong. For usage to be correct, it has to be established. Song titles are either capitalised, with minor words left in lower case ("The Song Remains the Same"), or the title is treated as a normal sentence, with punctuation, ("The song remains the same."). The latter is normally used in classical, orchestral music and the like, the former with popular music and audio books. Any other schema is just plain wrong. What individual artists do is up to them, but to be correct, their pieces would still be listed on a compilation as one of the two examples above.
