Please have iTunes and kJams running before launching this script and have a playlist selected in iTunes.
The simple logic of the script assumes that if iTunes is playing and this script is run, you want to cross fade over to kJams..
Alternately, if iTunes is not playing a track, it assumes you want to cross fade over to iTunes. When you are ready to cross fade to kJams, make sure your next song is highlighted/selected. It will NOT automatically go to the next track in your kJams playlist.
Cut and paste this code into a new script in Script Editor (comes standard on OSX) and save to wherever you'd like. Make sure you change the file format to "Application" and uncheck the "Startup Screen" check box in the Save As dialog!
I'd recommend you just make an icon for this script on your dock and click on it.. It won't bring up any dialog.
Although I have tested this code, I make no guarantees with this code, use at your own risk!!
Dave, my upgrade license to kJams Pro will be coming through this week, thanks
.And this is my first attempt at Applescript, so don't laugh! Any fixes/cleanups are welcomed.. I'm a Python guy

but I thought this topic most fitting for it. I would love to have the ability to integrate iTunes into kJams and still have video support for it. I would want support for iTunes purchases for music and video. This way I can play all my entire library inbetween singers. Any possibiltiy this can happen or does the fact that it's a iTunes purchase complicate the issue?
