Synchronization aborted
After a month or so not using Beatunes I'm struggling to sync it with Music library, getting the message attached. I tried rebooting, repairing database but it didn't work. I'm thinking to rebuild the database but I'm afraid I might loose data - I have a Time Machine backup obviously but dunno if an operation like this to the music files can be undone

"rebuilding" the database will delete beaTunes current database and re-build it from your audio files. All playlists (unless they are in iTunes/Music) and all other information not embedded in the audio files will be lost. See also https://blog.beatunes.com/2013/10/so-where-exactly-does-beatunes-st...

Regarding the actual sync error:
It seems that the AppleScript error
-2147450879indicates that AppleScript itself is broken, perhaps because of a bad plugin or Audio Unit. Please see http://help.beatunes.com/discussions/problems/66150-cant-load-or-sy...Any chance you have installed something that interferes?
Can you run
osascript -e 'tell app "Finder" to display dialog "Hello, World!"'on the command line?4 Posted by alorapittab on 16 May, 2022 01:21 PM
I did and I get the line "osascript: can't open default scripting component."
So wondering now which AU is causing the issue

Hm. Well at least we know now, that it’s a general AppleScript issue on your machine and not specific to beaTunes.
I unfortunately have no idea how to find out why AppleScript broke. Perhaps there’s something in the system’s log when you execute that AppleScript one-liner?

How do I get that log?
Or wait, is the Applescript you are talking about the Node.js thing? I have installed but maybe it needs to be launched somehow, I have no idea how that works sorry!

Installing node.js most likely does not help. Node.js is a JavaScript implementation. It’s more likely, it interferes.
AppleScript is a language runtime that is always installed on macOS. Your installation is somehow broken, perhaps by a plug-in of some sort.
The macOS system log is something you can see when launching the Console app.
Hope this helps a little.

Would this help somehow?

That system.log is the right one, but I cannot see anything useful in the excerpt you sent. Try running that AppleScript command line snippet mentioned in http://help.beatunes.com/discussions/problems/68756-synchronization... and right afterwards save the system.log file. Perhaps then there's something in there (but I cannot make any promises).
