3. Make a Folder labeled “Scripts” in the iTunes folder.

Searching Wikipedia In iTunes
1. Open iTunes by launching it from your dock or by searching for it in Spotlight.
2. Select a song that you would like to search for in Wikipedia. Now, look towards the righthand side of the Apple Toolbar, you will see an AppleScript button. Click on this. When you do this a drop down menu will appear. From this menu click on “Search Wikipedia”. The Wikipedia page with the song you selected will now be opened in your default web browser.
