    <p>iTunes doesn't allow you to do this with AppleScript, but you can write directly into iTunes' preferences, where it stores an alias to the currently selected library (or nothing, if you're using a library in the default location).</p> <p>First, you'll need to obtain the alias data for your selected library location. Open iTunes holding down the Option key, select your library and quit iTunes. Then, in Terminal, run:</p> <pre><code>defaults read com.apple.itunes 'alis:1:iTunes Library Location' | pbcopy </code></pre> <p>This will copy the library alias data to the clipboard.</p> <p>Finally, here's the script:</p> <pre><code>property otherLibraryLocation : "" -- paste location between the quotes property libraryLocationPref : "com.apple.iTunes 'alis:1:iTunes Library Location'" -- first, quit iTunes if it's running tell application "System Events" if exists (application process "iTunes") then tell application "iTunes" to quit end if end tell -- then, set the location do shell script "defaults write " &amp; libraryLocationPref &amp; " " &amp; quoted form of otherLibraryLocation -- uncomment the following line to use the default iTunes library instead -- do shell script "defaults delete " &amp; libraryLocationPref -- finally, relaunch iTunes tell application "iTunes" to activate </code></pre> <p>Paste the library location between the quotes in the first line of the script, and you should be all set. To return to the original library, uncomment the line including <code>defaults delete</code>.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
