[mythtv-users] iTunes and MythMusic

[Phill Edwards]

> I manage my mythmuisc playlists using itunes. The way I manage this is:
> 1) Make some changes in itunes (on my windows machine) - either

> stored on the windows machine)
> 2) On the mythtv machine, run a script to read through the itunes xml
> database file, and copy any new music from the windows machine to the
> linux machine.
> 3) In mythtv, run the "scan for new music" function.
> 4) Run a second script to update the playlists.
>
> If no new music has been added, just new playlists, I can skip steps 2 and 3.

Any chance you could share your scripts with the group?
