Apple ITunes SDK supports C#

  • 아티클

"Apple's SDK enables Windows developers to write code to control iTunes from other applications. These tools require iTunes 4.5 or later and support several languages, including C++, C# and JavaScript."

    C# is supported via COM Interop. There's no managed interfaces (as you would expect from Apple) and its slow to enumerate the collections :(

    I think they were just refering to the musical note, not the computer language. I think they are contractually obligated by the RIAA to support all standard notes and chords. Sure, most musicians avoid using B-flat but you still gotta have it for backward compatibility.

    How about adding tracks to the iTunes main Library or to an iPod? The SDK doesn't seem to allow that, even with casting of the IITPlaylist to an IITUserPlaylist or IITLibraryPlaylist... iTunes throws an exception.

    Did Apple intentionally block the ability to add tracks to those playlists?

    Hi,

    Wrote an application in C# with .Net framework 2.0 using this API. The application keeps syncs the tracks (and their information) in my MediaPlayer and iTunes database. Tracks that are in MediaPlayer but not in iTunes are automatically added and converted with the artwork for the album. Track information of existing tracks that has been modified in iTunes or MediaPlayer is synced as well.

    Both the MediaPlayer and iTunes SDK have their quircks that I've tried to solve in a wrapper library for both. As far as possible the programming model for both is more consistent.

    Somethings to be aware of:
    -When adding a track to iTunes it may be pretty hard to get a reference to that track in order to do things like setting the artwork.
    -In my wrapper classes I've implemented the Dispose pattern. When loading many tracks the garbage collector may need some help with so many COM-interopped instances (reduce memory requirements by 75% in my case)
    -When your app is running, DON'T even think about doing anything in the iTunes application that pops up. It will certainly crach the app.

    Have fun, (I did)
    Cheers,

    I have written a library for parsing the iTunes db in C#, if you use it, please give me some feedback or any problems you had.  Here's the link.

    I want to make a program for apple products which extracts the midi of the mp3 or cd  and harmonize it like jaco pastorius and than play with itunes or quicktime midi synthesizer which i added my fretless fender jazz bass samples.
