Meizu on MAC with iTunes, solution!

Hi everybody,

I've been searching for a while now on whether it was possible to use a meizu on a Mac/iTunes and wasn't having much luck so I tried my hand at my first AppleScript. I hope you enjoy. Feel free to offer constructive criticism, etc.

Copy and paste the code into Script Editor (included with Mac) and edit to your specifications and run it. As of now you can type in which iTunes playlist it transfers the songs from but not the actual playlist itself. I may incorporate this later (it has to be converted to an m3u format I believe).

For those of you trying to get your Meizu to show up on your MAC, this thread was helpful for me:

Code:

(* An AppleScript to transfer the music files from a playlist located in an iTunes library to an mp3 player
Created: April 7 2009
*)

set thePlaylist to "Test" -- enter the name of your playlist as it shows in iTunes
set meizuDisk to "M6" -- enter the name of your Meizu/MP3 Player drive here

-- try block catches error of an already existing folder
try
    tell application "Finder" to make new folder at folder "MUSIC" of disk meizuDisk with properties {name:thePlaylist}
end try

tell application "iTunes"
    repeat with theTrack in (get every track of playlist thePlaylist)
        set thePath to (location of theTrack)
        -- try block catches error of an already existing file
        try
            tell application "Finder" to copy file thePath to folder thePlaylist of folder "MUSIC" of disk meizuDisk
        end try
    end repeat
end tell

hi there, i am not a mac user, but i have tried to rip with itunes.

the music i ripped appeared to be by 'unknown artist' when they asre definily attached with infos like these when i ripped them.

do you any solutions to that?

thanks for you help

You mean when you play them on your Meizu? I have the same problem sometimes too. I'm not sure about it now but I think if you right click the songs in iTunes you can go to "Convert ID3 Tags..." and choose a version that will work with the Meizu. Try it out and lemme know.

iTunes doesn't write the information in mp3 tag, you may try some tag editor or simply use winamp to fix that.

By the way, can album arts be imported too?
