[iTunes] applescripts for iTunes playlists

[Terry Pogue]

I've never tried to write an applescript in my life nor do anything  
but put one in the scripts folder. I really would like to have this  
so I am going to try it. Guess first I have to find the application  
called applescript. :) See I told you I knew nothing about this.   
Stay tuned.
