ANN: "iTunes Library Suite" Lazy River Software release

[Thomas McGrath III]

Lazy River Software
My name is Thomas J McGrath III and I am the owner of Lazy River  
Software and I am pleased to provide to you the Revolution programmer  
this library "the iTunes Library Suite" (libITS) under the "MIT  
license". See License under the Directions tab in the left window of  
the documentation stack libITSDocs.

How to use this library

libITS is a library stack of cross platform commands and functions for  
use in interacting with iTunes. It can be used to create simple or  
complex music player applications as well as control the iTunes  
application itself. On Macintosh computers the library uses  
Applescript commands and on Windows it uses VBScript commands and the  
iTunes COM Interface.

The stack (libITSDocs) is the Documentation stack for the library  
stack (libITS). It contains explanations for each item and is also  
more like a Lab where you can interact with the various commands and  
functions. When this stack is first opened it starts using the actual  
library stack "libITS" and contains links to a few sample player stacks.

The best way to learn how to use the iTunes Library Suite ("libITS")  
is to launch iTunes with your favorite playlist selected and arrange  
the iTunes window side by side with the libITSDocs stack. Then use the  
"Commands and Functions" pane to the left of the window and select the  
drop down arrow for the group of commands or functions that you are  
interested in learning about.

This is a V1.0 release but has been tested on Macintosh OSX and  
Windows XP and with Revolution 2.6 through 3.0. There are a lot of  
commands and functions found in the iTunes Library Suite and one item  
is still not functioning on Windows for retrieving the album image but  
the OSX version will work.

Why am I releasing the iTunes Library Suite for FREE?
For two reasons really, the first is that this community has helped me  
so much over the past few years that I wanted to give something back  
and the second reason is that I built this library so that I could  
develop another product that I plan to sell and so it seemed to me  
that this would allow for some really good Karma if I gave this part  
away for free.

I hope you will download and enjoy this library as I have put a few  
hundred hours into it's development.

Thank you so very much for all you have given me,

Warm wishes,

Tom McGrath
