Hi, I'm looking for an iTunes script that puts the current song into the clipboard in the following format: [current song: Save Me - Remy Zero] or similar.



thanks

    thanks



    One line of AppleScript:



    tell application "iTunes" to set the clipboard to "[Current Song: " & (name of current track) & " - " & (artist of current track) & "]"







    Copy that line, paste into the Script Editor, save as Application, and whenever you double-click that application it will put that on the clipboard. Note that it has to open iTunes to get the info, obviously.

    Brilliant, thank you very much! I thought it'd be a simple script but I'm always scared of using commands - I like a GUI! Anyway, thank you again.
