ITunes info into Applescript

Question

I'm just starting with applescript, and i'm trying to create a list or an array with all info from my itunes library. I'd ideally like to form an array such as [trackName, trackArtist, trackGenre, playCount]
So far I have:
tell application "iTunes"
          set musicArray to the {name, artist, genre, played count} of every track of playlist "Music"
end tell
But this seems to create a list in the form {{name0, name1} {artist0, artist1} {genre0, genre1} {pc0, pc1}}
how can I group the elements such that they are stored {{ name0, artist0, genre0, pc0}{name1, artist1, genre1, pc1}}
Or, how can I reference or call an index in the array similar to
show played count of musicArray[index 0]
Thanks

Answer 1

For your first question, to group the properties of each item of the playlist you can step through the items, adding the desired properties to a list - for example:
set musicArray to {}
tell application "iTunes"
  repeat with anItem in every track of playlist "Music"
  set end of musicArray to {name, artist, genre, played count} of anItem
  end repeat
end tell
set X to 2 -- the index
return fourth item of musicArray's item X -- played count
For your second question, it might read better to create a record, using the names of the properties - for example:
tell application "iTunes"
  set musicRecord to the {|name|:name, |artist|:artist, |genre|:genre, |played count|:played count} of every track of playlist "Music"
end tell
set X to 2 -- the index
return item X of musicRecord's |played count|
Note that I've enclosed the record property names in pipes, since they are iTunes terms (and the space in "played count" can't be used in a variable name otherwise).  This also allows them to be used as regular variables outside of an iTunes tell statement.
