iTunes Controller

A similar thread will (eventually) be in the sample forums.

This is a fully functional version.

It is basically a touch screen friendly skin for iTunes, in Access.

To make it work for you:
1. Export your iTunes library to .txt
Right click on your music folder (with all the music in it) and select export
2. Import txt data to Excel
This is easy, the text file is delimited. If your text file is not, then check
for an iTunes update
3. Import excel data to the db, name the table Music. Over-write the
existing Music table. Do not use a linked table. They are slow and
the data becomes corrupted.
4. View the code for forms NowPlaying and NowPlaying1, change the
directory from mine (C:\Users\Shawn\Music) to your music directory.
Use Ctrl+F to make this easier.
5. Playlists are based on whatever data you have in the field for Comments.
If you want to change that, just go into qryPlaylists, and change the only
field there. Unfortunately, the playlist field is not an option.


I think that is it. If I missed a step, let me know.

This db is not formatted at all. If you would like to help make this look better, just post your versions in this thread. To change the buttons, just replace the images in folder "Images", make sure the name of the image you want to replace stays exactly the same.

Of course, report any bugs here!

I made a comment in the sample databases about this thread. When I click on the link all I get is some sort of credit checker. nothing to do with iTunes, what's going on?
