This script would do convert tracks from an audio cd into Apple lossless music using iTunes.
When we have a bad cd rom or a bad disk, conversion would usually fail and iTunes would not complain about it. I usually have to check every converted track manually. This script would save the pain: it would check every converted track, if the duration of the converted track is less than the original track, the script would retry the conversion.
This script is inspired by Fabien C. 's Recipe 498241.
