Add to Party Shuffle

Hi,

I'm trying to write a script that given a file adds it in Party
Shuffle (in iTunes).

It looks like this

on open argv
tell application "iTunes"
set theParty to some playlist whose special kind is Party Shuffle
repeat with thisFile in argv
add thisFile to thePosition of theParty
end repeat
end tell
end open

Unfortunately it doesn't work... I'm pretty sure it did work before,
but no more. I get the error message: "Item 1 {alias "filename.mp3"}
doesn't understand the «event hookAdd» message." Soo, what does that
mean? I have no idea, do you?

Is that really the *entire* script? I notice "thePosition" is
undefined, which will definitey cause problems.

If you don't care about the position in the play list, just change that
line to:

add thisFile to theParty

If you *do* care about the position, you'll need to set "thePosition" to
a relevant number inicating the position you want iTunes to insert the
tune in the play list.
