iTunes' Hidden Features
Many users are surprised to learn that you can address many of iTunes' power-user shortcomings, especially those relating to media and metadata management, via AppleScript. But you don't need to know the ways of AppleScript to take advantage of this functionality; that's where Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes comes in.

Overall though I feel like backing off blogging for a while. Some personal things have changed me and I have less enthusiasm for the technology. I think I might need a vacation.
