iTunes 10.5 beta not playing nicely with Calibre
I know this is in the realms of not-yet-released software misbehaving, but the iTunes driver in Calibre (0.8.8 and 0.7.x) doesn't work properly with iTunes 10.5 (in beta at present for iOS developers).
It seems to add the book correctly, but then falls over adding the SortName (or some other additional field). Of course I am content to wait for the official release and normal product release to support that. But in the event that knowing this in advance can shorten that lifecycle I mention it now! The error report is: calibre, version 0.8.8 ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device Command failed: OSERROR: -50 MESSAGE: Parameter error. COMMAND: app(u'/Applications/iTunes.app').sources.ID(73).library_playlists.ID(2 9053).file_tracks.ID(148589).name.set(u'The Silver Branch') Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/device.py", line 81, in run File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/device.py", line 401, in _upload_books File "site-packages/calibre/devices/apple/driver.py", line 1058, in upload_books File "site-packages/calibre/devices/apple/driver.py", line 2759, in _update_iTunes_metadata File "site-packages/appscript/reference.py", line 499, in __call__ CommandError: Command failed: OSERROR: -50 MESSAGE: Parameter error.

That error indicates a problem with OSA automation. When iTunes is officially updated and released, if it's still a problem I'll look at it.
