by , 11:00 AM EDT, May 19th, 2003

With the release of iTunes, Apple's music management app has been more popular than ever. With that popularity has come support from the Mac developer community with new tools and Web sites to help Mac users get more out of iTunes. Doug's AppleScripts has posted several new AppleScripts for use with the app, including Scripts that perform such functions as updating CD track names, modifying ID3 tags, exporting track artwork, and more. From Doug's AppleScripts:

The Mac Observer Spin:

We love to see developments like this, especially from the AppleScript community. AppleScript is one of the most powerful tools Apple has in its Mac arsenal, though the company does very little to promote it. That might be changing with products like AppleScript Studio hitting the market, but in the meanwhile, AppleScript adherents have often come to the aid of fellow Mac users by releasing utilities such as these from Doug's AppleScripts.
