The documentation for shuffle/shufflable in the iTunes Applescript dictionary is really confusing, at least for me. As I read it shuffle seems to be a property of a playlist (not a state of the program itself) but in the regular UI there is no such property for playlists (I would love to have it so I could set some playlists to always shuffle by album while other should always shuffle by song).

Anyway, I want an Applescript that enables shuffle by song/album and plays the currently selected playlist. How do I write the shuffle part of such a script?

  • I'd check out Doug's Applescripts. No point re-inventing the wheel. Received wisdom is, if it's not on there, it probably can't be done. Commented Apr 2, 2015 at 8:04
