Title: SyncTunes Plugin Template.scpt

Summary:
Example of a pre or post Sync plugin script for use with SyncTunes.
If the Pre-Sync and/or Post-Sync advanced option are selected the
associated named Applescript .scpt script file will be run at the
beginning/end of the sync process. The post-sync script is run
before ejecting the volume, if eject has been selected.
Uses for the plugins are varied, such as deleting specific tracks instead
of a wholesale 'replace', writing destination to CD, manipulating the
M3U playlists.
The plugin comes with a set of parameters from the SyncTunes saved
preferences, written before the call to the plugin.
Notes:
SyncTunes has a preset time limit to wait for upto 15 minutes for the
plug-in to complete and return a success or fail result.
Do not use 'tell application "SyncTunes"' statements as SyncTunes is
will not respond as it is waiting for this plug-in to finish.
