I have established the timeout because otherwise I (sometimes) ended up with two running instances of the macro when there were problems with quitting/starting iTunes.
In any case it's not a good idea to restart iTunes with another library while it is still busy with the currently open library. I got several iTunes crashes doing so.
So I recommend to not open iTunes with different libraries in very short order. Give it some time (10 to 20 seconds).
Please read (again) the instructions for the macro in my post above.
As said the macro has slots (room) for 3 different library locations, not counting the default library location.
You see the three green actions in the macro? These are the 3 variables ("iTunesLib1", "iTunesLib2", "iTunesLib3") whose task is to hold the location data for the libraries.
Just use the Terminal command from above as described to get the location data for each library, and paste that data into the value field of one of the green Variable actions.
Do not change the name of the variables! But of course you can change the displayed names in the User Prompt action ("John", "Jim", "Jack"), after the double underscore.
If you need more than 3 library locations (that is, more than 4 if we count the default location), then just…
- duplicate (⌘D) one of the green Variable actions and name the Variable "iTunesLib4"
- Execute the shell script for that library and paste the obtained data to the new action
- Add an entry to the User Prompt with this pattern:
%Variable%iTunesLib3%__Johnwhere "John" is the freely choosable displayed name. The entries have to be separated by a pipe (vertical line) character "|".
