You can always try adjusting the file “iTunes Music Library.xml” in your iTunes folder. It’s the file that keeps a record of all your tracks and the data associated with each song.

i did some research on why this does not work in itunes 9. from what i can tell, seems that itunes 9 does not allow the IITTrack object to be accessed. that is what the runtime error is – jscript / wscript can’t find it.

Utility was working great. I upgrade to iTunes 9.0 and started getting a runtime error messages:
**Error**
Line: 4
Char: 1
Error: Object Required
Code: 800A01A8
Source: Microsoft JScript runtime error

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I have followed all the instructions here, but when I get to the “highlighting the song” that I want to change, I do this in iTunes, open up the .js file, and nothing changes – it just opens up the notepad document without altering the play count of the song. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong… :(

Hey guys!

For those who are having trouble with running a JavaScript file…

This is a .VBS file (Visual Basic Script)

This worked for me. The JavaScript file was opening in Notepad / Dreamweaver / Generic Text Editor…

This is great! Didn’t really have high hopes that it would work but it works like a dream!

Hey.. I did this but everytime I change it from a .txt file to .js file, it opens up in Notepad.. And it doesn’t edit it as well.

I tried it. I changed the file ext, edited the play count number, and tried to run it with itunes open.

But nothing happened, it just went to notepad :[
Any help?
