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.
