[macvoiceover] Re: Adding radio streams in playlists using Automator

Hello Everyone,
We got this to work, so if I may, just a couple of changes to the original instructions. Please re-read the instructions with the changes added.
Here is how... If you have got the actual workflow ready, you can jump directly to step 5 below: 


1) Open Automator with a new document.
2) Tab to the outline and arrow to "iTunes". You may need to interact with the outline. 3) Tab once to the table of actions and arrow to "Get the current song", make sure the mouse is there, too.....and double click with control-option-shift-spacebar so that you hear the message "No rows selected". You may need to hit control-option-shift-spacebar twice in order to hear the "No row selected" message. Next, arrow to "Add songs to playlist", make sure your mouse is located there, too. Double click with control-option-shift-spacebar, and you will hear the message "No rows selected". Again you may need to do it twice in order to hear the message 4) Stop interacting with the table with control-option-shift-up arrow and navigate below two splitters, until you find the scroll area. 5) Interact with the scroll area. The scroll area is all the actions you have added, in this case the first one is just some buttons that you do not have to care about, just navigate to the items to select your personal radio playlist from the pop-up button, or any other playlist, and save your workflow. 6) In iTunes go to the radio stream you would like to add, simply by selecting the default radio playlist in iTunes, tab to the songs list, open a folder and arrow to the playlist you want. You must make sure the radio station is already playing or it does not seem to add it 7) Go directly to Automator and press command-R or press the Run button. You will hear a sound, and if you are in iTunes check your playlist, the streams are added! 

Hope this helps.... ;-)
Special note to John Andre: John, you have done a masterful job with this guide. Please forgive my editing, but this is the way it worked for me. John, I would like to put this guide on our web site: www.icanworkthisthing.com and with your permission, I would like to combine it with another guide on creating a playlist. 

Thank you so much.
