iTunes - New Random Genius Playlist Script

The script will use a random song as the basis for a new genius playlist in iTunes. Growl will notify you about the artist and name of the chosen song.

Works best with an application that supports launching applescripts e.g. LaunchBar, Apptivate …. But you can also launch it from the script menu in the menu bar. 
(To show the script menu in menu bar go to Preferences/General/ in AppleScript Editor.app) menubar.png

IMPORTANT: BEFORE USE MAKE SURE THE NAME OF THE PLAYLIST “MUSIC” MATCHES YOUR LANGUAGE (SEE SCREENSHOT)!
You can edit the script with AppleScript Editor.app (/Applications/Utilities).

Language settings

The script unfortunately involves UI scripting so you might see iTunes for about a second.
