È possibile creare una playlist che contenga tutti gli album completi nella libreria utilizzando AppleScript. Il codice seguente è solo una piccola modifica allo script collegato nella risposta di Kirk in modo che crei una playlist invece di una per album. È lento (richiede forse 5 minuti per scorrere la mia libreria) ed è molto sensibile a qualsiasi inesattezza dei metadati, ma funziona per me.
-- Creates one playlist of all full albums you have in iTunes
-- Set the playlistPrefix and playlistSuffix as desired before running
-- Original script by duozmo on Ask Different

-- Based on code by Brad Campbell

tell application "iTunes"
set albumPlaylistName to "Full Albums"
-- Create playlist
if user playlist albumPlaylistName exists then
try
delete tracks of user playlist albumPlaylistName
end try
else
make new user playlist with properties {name:albumPlaylistName}
end if
set albumBuckets to {} as list
set allSongs to (every track of library playlist 1 whose enabled is true and podcast is false and kind contains "audio") as list
-- Find all partial albums in iTunes
repeat with currentTrack in allSongs
set albumName to album of currentTrack as text
set artistName to artist of currentTrack as text
-- First check for missing values, then perform integer comparison
-- Zero is on the left to force interger type coercion, just in case
if album of currentTrack is not missing value and 0 is less than length of albumName then
if artist of currentTrack is not missing value and 0 is less than length of artistName then
if track number of currentTrack is not missing value and 0 is less than track number of currentTrack then
if track count of currentTrack is not missing value and 0 is less than track count of currentTrack then
if albumBuckets does not contain album of currentTrack then
copy album of currentTrack to the end of albumBuckets
end if
end if
end if
end if
end if
end repeat
repeat with currentAlbum in albumBuckets
set albumSongs to (every track of library playlist 1 whose album is currentAlbum)
set firstTrack to first item of albumSongs
-- Filter album list to act only on full albums
if (count of albumSongs) is equal to track count of first item of albumSongs and 1 is less than (count of albumSongs) then
-- This is a full album, construct the playlist
-- Sort tracks by track number
set albumSongsSorted to {} as list
repeat with i from 1 to (count of albumSongs)
repeat with trk in albumSongs
if track number of trk is i then
set nextSong to trk
copy nextSong to the end of albumSongsSorted
end if
end repeat
end repeat
try
repeat with trk in albumSongsSorted
duplicate trk to user playlist albumPlaylistName
end repeat
end try
end if
end repeat
display dialog albumPlaylistName & " playlist created!"
end tell
Un'altra opzione potrebbe essere quella di utilizzare lo script Doug's Random Full Albums se vuoi semplicemente iTunes per agisci come un caricatore CD in modalità album shuffle.
