iTOC generates a TOC file for use with the AudioTron based on data extracted from iTunes. iTOC is an AppleScript Studio application with an embedded Perl script which parses the iTunes database file iTunes Music Library.xml and outputs the TOC file. This project is free and open source. You may download either the application itself or the entire project including the source code.

If you use iTunes as for ripper/encoder/librarian and your Mac as a file server for your AudioTron, then this application is for you. If you don't know what a TOC file is, let me try to explain. When the AudioTron starts up from a "cold boot", it scans for music files on the share that you've set up to build its internal database of playable items. This scan can take a long time if you have a lot of music files. The TOC file allows the AudioTron to read the file rather than scanning the share to build its internal database. This makes the process about 10 times faster.

What's New:
Fixed issues with diacriticals in artist and song names.
Fixed problem where streaming sources in the iTunes library would cause iTOC to fail.
Special thanks to Tom Bridgwater for these fixes!

Requirements:
iTunes 3 or higher
Turtle Beach AudioTron 3.0 firmware or higher.
