When you save files to disk on your Mac, OS X will include a number of metadata information along with the file, which programs and services such as the Finder might use to sort and search for items. If you need to look at any of this metadata for a file, then there are several ways you can do so. The 1.31 version of Download Songs for Mac is available as a free download on our website. This program's bundle is identified as com.godownloadsongs.downloadsongs. The application is included in Internet & Network Tools. Grim deeper mac os. Our built-in antivirus checked this Mac download and rated it as virus free. This software works fine with Mac OS X 10.5. Here's the one that you got all the way to Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar, resplendent in its Aqua glory: And then with Mac OS X 10.3 Panther came a slicker, sharper welcome video, with its thumping.

are these documented anywhere? does anyone know the correct path for mail.app (on tiger)?
Where have you found this 'correct path'? I just go into the Script menu and select (e.g.) Open Scripts Folder -> Open iTunes Scripts Folder, and store my scripts there. This means all my scripts end up under ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/iTunes (etc.) All work fine..
there are two script menus:- the global one that's always visible in the toolbar
- local (application-specific) ones, located to the left of the 'help' menu in the toolbar.
i'm asking, specifically, how to get the mail.app local script menu to appear, and more generally if this is documented anywhere.
Interesting. You seem to have a different take on rating a song than I do.
For me, I think a song is a 4 or a 5 or whatever based on its merits as a song, viewed and reviewed on an individual basis, no matter what my current emotion or interest in listening to it. E.G., The Clash's 'White Man In Hammersmith Palais' is a 5 star song, period, whether or not I feel like listening to it right now or would prefer to hear something else; i.e., the song is a masterpiece to me, worthy of a 5 star rating, regardless of my preference of hearing it now, or so soon after I last heard it.
You, however, seem to take the stance that a songs quality or listen-ability or desirability or original merits degrade over time.
While I admit that some songs when they first come out grab me, and I want to listen to them again and again, and they strike a chord or emotion or situation perfectly, and I initially think them better than they really are, thus they get a 4 or 5 star rating, after they wear on me, they might also wear out, and I might later lower the overall rating. However, this, to me is a reassessment of its quality, composition, artistic merit, skill, etc. This is not to me a reflection of how often I want to hear it, or how likely I am to skip it.
To me, what you want is a 'Currently Favorite' score, that evolves based on your interest in hearing it all the way through, over and over, regardless of frequency of repeat, and regardless of your current mood.
For example, while I think 'White Man [..]' is a five star song no matter what, it is a laid back beat, and if I'm trying to rip out some hard work or maybe exercising at a fast pace, I am interested in hearing 5 star jamming, fast tunes (e.g., The Clash's 'Safe European Home'), and I might skip 'White Man[..]' in order to keep up the pace of my mood. Your system approach would quickly turn one of the best songs of all time into a 'never listen to it again' 0 rated song. How many playlists do you create that have you listening to 0, 1 and 2 star songs? Qube qross mac os. I don't have any; I only keep such songs on disk for accessibility as part of albums or a need for a party ('The Chicken Dance' comes to mind..), or examples of what a really bad song sounds like when you need to prove a point.
I think if I wanted to implement what I see as your intent to keep a 'currently favored' rating, while preserving my opinion of a song's true merit rating, I would invent a tag to insert in the comments field that I could use to filter in/out currently favored/unfavored songs. I would suggest using some of the lesser tag fields, like BPM, but I already use that to help create fast jam lists, slow jam lists, etc.
Wouldn't it be cool if we could just build our own custom meta tags directly into the file format (for portability), and not just artificial tags that are user/software specific (like the ratings tag)? The only place we have to work around this is the comments field, and the character limit there can really make this difficult to multipurpose so many things.
But, now that I think of it, I can do what your script intends to do with what iTunes already gives me: Smart Playlists of 4 and five star songs that filter out songs that get skipped too often.
So, while your premise makes for interesting conversation, I find that, ultimately, your hint is needless. Sorry.
But thanks for sharing a good script!
Cheers
The following scripts from Doug's Apple Scripts for iTunes have helped me a bit with these frustrations:

thanks.. didin't know they added skip count until now.
i wish they'd add the option to see a song's rating on the main 'now playing' screen of the ipod so you won't have to activate the ipod and click a few times to see that a song is already rated what you want it rated. a waste of battery power to have to activate the screen for that length of time for every song.
also a waste of time if you're exercising and don't need to change the rating.
