What does that mean for BeaTunes?<div><p>Many of the APIs are actually staying stable, it seems. It's just the the <code>iTunes Library.xml</code> file seems to be gone.</p>
<p>I'm working on a solution and am fairly confident it won't be a major problem.</p></div>hendriktag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/473975382019-06-30T16:45:14Z2019-06-30T16:45:15ZiTunes is EOL. What does that mean for BeaTunes?<div><p>My god that makes me happy!</p>
<p>Thank you, Hendrik!</p></div>Patchtag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/473975382019-07-04T15:13:07Z2019-07-04T15:13:07ZiTunes is EOL. What does that mean for BeaTunes?<div><p>Some things may not work as well as before, because currently the <a href="https://developer.apple.com/documentation/ituneslibrary/itlibrary">ITLibrary framework</a> that needs to be used for this, has not been maintained well by Apple. E.g. they didn't add disliked/loved or work/movement to the API, even though they added the fields in iTunes. I have filed a feedback report with Apple, but in my (limited) experience that does not cause Apple to do anything.</p>
<p>There are ways around these shortcomings (e.g. AppleScript), but they aren't very fast. We'll see. Perhaps Apple also sees the need for an updated API and surprises us!</p></div>hendriktag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/473975382019-07-04T16:15:10Z2019-07-04T16:15:11ZiTunes is EOL. What does that mean for BeaTunes?<div><p>Yeah - I won’t hold my breath on that. :-)</p>
<p>TBH - between iTunes and the BeaTunes beatlet that you’ve been helping me with, I’m so close to the perfect set-up (for me) that I wouldn’t move away from the current version of iTunes complimented by BeaTunes.</p>
<p>If I can get the Ticked/Un-ticked and Loved/Disliked/Default info out of iTunes/BeaTunes and INTO the Traktor Collection.xml, I would NEVER move away from iTunes w/BeaTunes...</p></div>Patchtag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/473975382019-07-24T13:47:39Z2019-07-24T13:47:39ZiTunes is EOL.
