---|
4 | This is a simple little script which sends |
---|
5 | music from an iTunes library to the sipbmp3 |
---|
6 | lpr server. |

8 | * Changelog |
---|

---|
11 | 9 Jan 2009 -> price added 'quoted form' |
---|
12 | 7 Jan 2009 -> kmill created initial version |
---|
13 | |
---|
14 | * System Requirements |
---|
15 | This script will only work under Mac OS X as |
---|
16 | it uses AppleScript. |
---|
17 | |
---|
18 | * Installation |
---|
19 | There are two parts: |
---|
20 | |
---|
21 | 1) Launch the Printer Setup Utility and add |
---|
22 | an IP Printer with the LPD protocol with |
---|
23 | the following information: |
---|
24 | Address: zygorthian-space-raiders.mit.edu |
---|
25 | Queue: sipbmp3 |
---|
26 | It is not necessary to specify the driver. |
---|
27 | |
---|
28 | 2) Create the directory ~/Library/iTunes/Scripts |
---|
29 | and place the "Send to sipbmp3.scpt" file |
---|
30 | within. |
---|
31 | |
---|
32 | * Usage |
---|
33 | When in iTunes, select the songs which you |
---|
34 | would like to hear in the office, and click |
---|
35 | "Send to sipbmp3" in the script menu from |
---|
36 | the menu bar. The script menu looks like a |
---|
37 | little scroll icon. There will be no |
---|
38 | feedback beyond the pleasant sounds you now |
---|
39 | hear around you. |
---|
40 | |
---|
41 | * Todo |
---|
42 | As it is, there is no feedback, even in the |
---|
43 | event of failure. This is decidedly not |
---|
44 | optimal. |
---|
45 | |
---|
46 | * And so... |
---|
47 | Do whatever you want with it. I'd like to |
---|
48 | have a copy if you extend it. |
