[Pythonmac-SIG] controlling iTunes with appscript

Hi,
I'm completely new to Python and something is evading me completely. I'm
using appscript to add (and convert to mp3) a bunch of .aif files to
iTunes. I also want to create a new playlist which they are all added to
and then tagged. This is what I have at the moment:
itunes = app(id='com.apple.itunes')
itunes.run()
itunes.make(new=k.playlist, with_properties={k.name:'New Playlist'})
addfile = itunes.add(Alias (outputfile), to=itunes.playlists['New
Playlist'])
convertfile = itunes.convert(addfile)
itunes.delete(addfile)
The resultant mp3 file doesn't appear in the playlist - only in the
library. Also, how do I tag the files (title, artist, album?) as I can't
see how this would be done.
Another thing is how can I package up appscript so this thing can be
distributed on CD-ROM?
Any help much appreciated!
Jamie
