One of my favorite applications on my Mac is iTunes, so its no surprise this is the first application I turned to for testing. To start, import the proper library:

Afterward, we can create a handle to iTunes and tell it to play:

Running the above lines will open up the application called iTunes and execute the action play.  It will play the current track and specific tracks can be passed as an argument. The action .stop() will stop iTunes. Of course, we can do so much more with appscript. For instance, we can create a playlist that only plays a specific album.  I wrote a script that does just that.

The script can be found HERE in a zipped file.

It is documented and should be easy to follow.  One more thing, it is also possible to assign values to each track as if they were normal data objects.
