Thanks Richard.
I haven't actually done much testing with the latest version of
iTunes...
I'll put this change in the next release.

So, this is a variant data type that would be converted from a native
perl
time. mmm.. ok, I tried the following and it worked. So that should
clear up
any problems with date format.

$status = $trackHandle->{playedDate} = "$year-$month-$day
$hr:$min:$sec";

I'm a little curious about why the problem exists to begin with. Perhaps
a
recent upgrade has changed COleDateTime or perhaps version 4.7.1.30
iTunes
has something new in IITTrack. Oh well. No bother, it works for me now.

US/Greek Keyboards..
