I'm trying to do the following (with iTunes):

set sub_tracks to tracks where album is in {"Album 1", "Album 2"}

but AppleScript turns it into

set sub_tracks to tracks where {"Album 1", "Album 2"} contains album

which is apparently illegal.

Anything I can do?

...in your title you said "whose" but in your text you said "where"? Anyways, it seems that scripting with iTunes is seriously flawed. i.e. "is in" doesn't seem to work. Also you need to define which playlist the track is from. This is messy but should work:

tell application "iTunes"
tell playlist 1
(every track whose album is "Album 1") & (every track whose album is "Album 2")
end tell
end tell


Album is a property of track, so you have to get the property of the class. Not "where" it is.
property of every class whose property is/contains/starts with ""/{}

Thanks for the response.

According to the documentation, 'where' is an alias for 'whose'.

And I was using this to get to the main playlist (but didn't paste it into my post):

tell application "iTunes"
tell source "library"
tell playlist "library"
-- stuff here
end tell
end tell
end tell

Thanks again
