add ripped/converted tracks to iTunes

[jgatts]

Hi all. I wrote a little command line utility to add tracks and (optionally) artwork to iTunes. I developed it specifically for my use with dBpoweramp, so maybe some of you will find it useful.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/ituneslibadd/

Follow the download link and install the MSI package. (Or just download the ZIP file and extract it to some convenient location.) Once you've installed it, you can add a "Run External" action as follows:

Run: After Conversion

Program: <path to iTunesLibraryAdd.exe>
e.g., C:\Program Files\iTunesLibraryAdd\iTunesLibraryAdd.exe

Command Line: -f [outfilelong] -asf

(Omit the -asf if you don't want to add the artwork.)

I haven't tried it with compilation CDs yet, so I'm not sure how the artwork will work in that scenario, but it works fine for me with single-artist CDs.

I hope someone finds this useful.

Awesome, very useful..... if only it would work....

It opened iTunes, but didn't add the tracks, any suggestions?

thanks

I am guessing you need -f "[outfilelong]" -asf

as the filename can have spaces in it.

awesome, thank you, now working perfectly...

I guess i've just shown my entire lack of programming knowledge. :D

anyway, very useful, THANKS!

Yes, that's correct. Sorry for the oversight.
