Apple script to play a podcast faster

Question

Hi
I'm trying to use a script to select an itunes podcast, then open QuickTime and then play the podcast at 1.5 speed
This script used to work for me in itunes, but now I get this error:
       Can’t get «class pLoc» of «class pTrk» of application "iTunes".
I'd love to be able to open VLC and do this.
tell application "iTunes"
    pause
    set my_track to location of current track
    set my_seconds to player position
end tell
tell application "QuickTime Player"
    open my_track
    set my_movie to first document
    set ts to «class tmsc» of my_movie
    set current time of my_movie to my_seconds * ts
    set rate of my_movie to 1.5 -- starts playing
end tell

Answer 1

I'll give you one more method to add to the list:
Play Prompt (--Trigerring Contact--, S[extension])
The S[] prompt literal means to [S]pell out whatever value is in the variable.
Additionally...
#[position_in_queue] = First, Second, Third, etc. These are called ordinal numbers.
N[points] = One Hundred and Thirty Seven, Sixty Nine, etc. These are called cardinal numbers.
Lastly, you could use the Create Generated Prompt step to convert to other formats, but the spelling one is a simple and common one, which does not require that step.
