My previously published Applescript to control iTunes Airplay/Airtunes speakers was broken recently when Apple released iTunes version 10.1. Apple made a few minor tweaks to the speaker control elements, which is to be expected since one of the key features in the 10.1 release is related to Airplay support.

I have re-created the script, which behaves almost identically to previous versions. This one contains a little bit more error checking for dealing with various iTunes states. I’ve also included more code comments than previous versions, which should help people modify it to their own needs.
