Scripting iTunes (and others) with AS for voice commands?

[michaelsanford]

I searched the board for 'itunes speakable' and only came up with this amusingly ancient reply:
- I'm not sure if iTunes is scriptable, so that might be a problem...
- iTunes 2 is applescriptable.

So how do I find an iTunes AppleScript reference? I couldn't find it in the iTunes Help.

Alternatively, if anyone knows of somewhere I can download pre-made commands, that would suit me just fine.

I'm re-unleashing the power of speakable items ; I used it all the time in OS 9, but since OS X I've been letting is lag.

TIA!

This only has extra commands...I'm looking for the complete iTunes command reference, so I can play/pause/skip as well...as well as extend other applications.

Not necessarily sure if this is what you're looking for but.

Easy way:
Drop iTunes onto Script Editor.app to see iTunes' AppleScript Dictionary.

(Slightly) Hard(er) way:
Open Script Editor.app and go to File -->Open Dictionary... and select the application's dictionary you want to open.

Yesss! I should have known I could get the application dictionary by doing that, this is a Macintosh after all!
