Shuffle iPod music from iTunes
An AppleScript to play my iPod music in shuffle from iTunes:
tell application "iTunes"
activate
-- Get the first iPod, I don't usually have more than one connected at the same time
set myiPod to first item of (every source whose kind is iPod)
-- Get the 'Music' playlist
set myiPodMusic to playlist "Music" of myiPod
-- View the playlist, turn on shuffle, minimize the window
set view of front window to myiPodMusic
set shuffle of myiPodMusic to true
set minimized of front window to true
-- Play some tunes
play
end tell
I run it with FastScripts.
