Hi everyone.  Recent first time mac owner here.  Tho long time unix
developer...  I have been successfully using apple's iTunes windows SDK
for a while to do neat stuff with my playlists, and would really like to
do the same on my new mac.  I spent a few days scouring the net for all
information i could on the best way to do this.  It looks to me that the
way to go is appscript, as I don't want to use apple script (I don't get a
very good impression of it so far), and ideally, what I want to do is
create a cross platform library in python that can be used to manage
either a windows or mac installation of iTunes.  I figured out the windows
SDK in a short time, but I'm really getting stuck on using appscript to do
some of the same tasks...

Anyone know how to add artwork to a file??  I can't find that info
anywhere, and I've looked what seems to me to be just about everywhere
now.  If there is a better place to ask this question, I would love a
pointer in the right direction also..  The closest thing I could find was
this post about apple script:

But I just couldn't seem to understand how to translate that idea into the
appscript world.

..appreciation..
