iTunes script - cleanup, update id3 tags, location and rating

with the following script you can:

* remove dead files of your itunes database

* update id3 tags of alle files (uncomment currTrack.UpdateInfoFromFile();)

* update "comment" id3-tag write itunes rating and location info to the file:

source code part:

currTrack.Comment = currTrack.rating + "; " + currTrack.Location

"40; E:\STORE\AUDIO\artist\albumname\01-trackname.mp3"

== the benefit ==

even if you dont have audiofiles with id3 tags you now can search for foldername (albumname, artist, folder structure, ...) because the comment tag ist also indexed in search ;-)

whith this script its possible to export the itunes rating to the comment-id3-tag and you can use the rating info in other programs ;-)

== filter feature ==

* update only files with special substring: eg "mp2"

== rating codes ==

no star 0, one star 20, two stars 40, ... 5 stars 100
