iTunes 8.2 breaks iDupe and possibilty others
Apple's release of iTunes 8.2 broke some core scripting elements, and this affects iDupe and possibly other WBC products. It might also affect any script that interacts with iTunes. Work-arounds are possible, but these would break compatibility with previous versions of iTunes. Therefore, for the time being, WBC has opted to wait for a fix from Apple rather than trying to work-around Apple bugs. This is not quite as bad as all this -- some scripts and products can be used with caution. For example, iDupe will no longer scan user playlists, but it should scan the Music library playlist. More will be posted here as it is known. If you have not upgraded to iTunes 8.2, don't do it for now; unless you need iPhone OS 3.0 support or want to use Genius with videos, nothing has changed since 8.1.1 other than breaking the scripting.
