who’s a lazy bum?

I’ve always been happy to read that laziness in a programmer is a virtue. How much work is it really to open iTunes, make sure the Music library is selected, click File->Import, navigate to the desktop, select the folder that contains the songs I want to add, pick that folder, wait for the import to finish, switch back to the desktop, and finally drag that folder of songs into the trash?
Too much work for me. Just typing it all tires me out.
So here’s my first Automator workflow, saved as a Finder plugin.
You can download it here.
Open it, then File->Save As Plugin…, name it, ‘Import into iTunes’, and now it’s just right-click on that folder of songs, then More->Automator->Import into iTunes.
Time for a snack.
