Elapsed Time iTunes Script

[ahdustin]

Is there anyway to find the elapsed time of a song in iTunes through applescript or anything else?

Thanks

Yes,

Open the script dictionary for iTunes, open 'iTunes suite', 'Classes' and click on application. This shows that the application has the property 'player position' to report how many seconds of the current track have been played.

Therefore, the following script

tell application "iTunes"
display dialog (player position as string)
end tell

will display the appropriate value when run as a track is playing.
