The currently playing track & revMobile

[Terry Vogelaar]

I want to write an iOS app that allows me to edit the tags of the tracks on my iPod Touch. Often when I listen to music on my iPod, I want to edit the data of the currently playing track. For example, I want to set the genre, or at least add some comments to it. And when I connect the iPod to my iMac, I want that data to sync back to iTunes automatically. 

I don't know of any app that has similar functionality, so I doubt whether the SDK allows it. But it sure would be great if it did.

As far as I know, the only information that is synced back from my iPod to iTunes is: star ratings and play counts. But I would love to do more. 

If this is simply impossible, could there be some kind of workaround? For example: the app records the title & artist of the currently playing track to a text file on the iPod, along with the data I would like to add/modify. When connected to the Mac, an AppleScript could process that text file to make the changes to the corresponding track(s) in iTunes.

Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
