iTunesAirBridge and Playdar AS3 Lib

Description

The new NativeProcess API available in Adobe Air 2.0 finally allows communication with native processes on the user's machine.  This project demonstrates using the NativeProcess API to access iTunes via Windows COM.  The demo only contains two commands for retrieving the user's library and playlist.  However, because the iTunes interaction happens via VBScript on Windows (and soon AppleScript on OSX) so anyone can easily extend the library to do more (ie creating playlists, writing a download manager for a music store that imports to itunes) and not have to deal with compiling and scripting C.

 

The other half of this project is an AS3 library for making Playdar API calls and handling playback of resolved sources.  All playback in the demo is handled by Playdar.
