Automator....how to?

[Keldud7]

Hi there. I'm just now discovering the Automator. Looks handy. Yet, when I want to tell it to start playing a playlist in iTunes, how do I choose which playlist it plays? I tried running the task but it didn't do anything. Anyone know how do work this thing? Thanks.

Make a new workflow in Automator. First put in the "Get specified iTunes items" module. Press "+" on it to get the dialog box to choose a playlist or song.

Then, put the "Play iTunes playlist" directly below that. Choose "Repeat" and "Shuffle" if you want.

You can then save your workflow, as either a workflow or an application. One place you might use this is in an iCal alarm.
