I learned a pretty easy way to toggle shuffle from
this thread on the MacScripter BBS. I also posted my results at the bottom of the page about using Growl for Quartz-style notification.
In short, the command would be something like
Code:
tell application "iTunes"
activate
tell first library playlist to set shuffle to not shuffle
end tell
Hope this is helpful. It would be nice to get back some kind of state on the client side, not just have the toggle work - and/or be able to request the shuffle state of the remote machine.
Thanks for the prompt reply and for considering Album art! I think that combined with Growl notification, it could make for a REALLY powerful extension to this app.
But I digress. Universal first!
