    add ripped/converted tracks to iTunes

    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.

    Free, secure and fast downloads from the largest Open Source applications and software directory - SourceForge.net


    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.

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

      as the filename can have spaces in it.

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