iTunes A leScript to batch edit video metadata

iTunes 7 ushered in some great new video metadata, but editing this information, e ecially when in batches, can sometimes be a pain. For example: iTunes can differentiate between "movies" and "tv shows," (just check your Sources list on the left) but trying to select 14 episodes of an Aqua Teen Hunger Force season and pre ing cmd-i doe 't yield any way to make a broad-sweeping change to "tv show."

If you're in the same boat as me (and I sure hope you are, or this is a usele post), a script from the venerable Doug (you know, A leScripts for iTunes Doug?) called Set Video Kind of Selected can bring some automation to this proce . In fact, as you can see, in allows you to edit not only the Video Kind, but the Show Name, Season Number and the starting episode number of the batch you've selected. This is a killer script for those of you who have some major iTunes video library cleanup work to do.

As usual, this script is provided free, but Doug solicits donatio for all the rocking work he does with his now over 400-strong library of iTunes A leScript.
