AppleScript A Lo Loco
MacScripter.net: "AppleScript A Lo Loco posts several AppleScript articles in Spanish. Includes a brief introduction to the elements and conventions of the articles, a concise overview of how AppleScript works, explanation of variables, file and folder references, objects, handlers, dialogs, text delimiters, third-party resources, and much more. This 'AppleScript in Castilian' website has plans to continue adding articles to assist Spanish-language scripters with the AppleScript dialect."

Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes news
Updated: CDDB Safari Kit - This download contains two scripts: "CDDB Safari", which uses Safari to search CDDB for info on the selected or currently playing iTunes track, and "CDDB Track Names Safari", which imports the track names of the current CDDB album page to the track names of the front playlist. Both are no longer Run-Only (so you can open them in Script Editor), and "CDDB Safari" now offers options to search by track name, artist, and album.
Reinstated: Filenames to Track Names - This script copies the filenames of the selected tracks to the corresponding track name tags. It was pulled a while back because of problems when using it while iTunes 3's Advanced Preferences is set to Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized. Unfortunately, while this is set iTunes will try to name the file with the track name, the reverse of the script's function, so you'll never get it to work correctly. Works fine in OS 9 with iTunes 2.0.4.

IMSDG would decide, as a group, the most important technical issues facing its membership, and then present those issues to Apple, most likely via the developer relations group, with a unified voice.
