Quicksilver scripts for tagging iTunes songs, creating playlists

A MacOSXHints reader has puttogether an interesting set of Quicksilver scripts that will allow you to both easily tag your iTunes music as it isplaying, and create on-the-fly playlists based on these tags. The way they work is simple: while music is playing iniTunes, you can use Quicksilver's text abilities to easily add tags to the music file's comments section. The beautyhere is that tags are prefixed with an asterisk (*), and they are a ended to anything that might already be in thesong's comments field, preserving what you might already have added. The second script allows you to create an iTunesplaylist right from Quicksilver based on any of your tags.

I haven't gotten to test these out yet, but thedownload includes detailed i tructio from the author's site.
