Need help with my first Automator Script

Hi,



I am trying to change info on my iTunes songs. I have songs from various albums. What I want to do is as follows:



Sort the songs by Album;

Select all songs belongong to first album in the list;

Change info for all selected songs (The info to be changed is to mark "Part of a compilation" as Yes)

Select all songs belonging to the net album in the list;

Rinse and repeat till end of list.



The reason I am trying to do this is because apparently iTunes 7 sometimes does not download album art unless the album is marked as a compilation.



One question: What if I just select all the songs in one shot and change all "Part of a compilation" to Yes? Would it then consider all my songs to be part of the same compliation album or is iTunes intelligent enough to distinguish by album name?



Thanks and cheers

    Indeed. No need for the script, just do that.



    For future reference, lot of iTunes AppleScripts can be found at Doug's AppleScripts
