Hi, new guy here...
I'm using GForce 4.4 Platinum on OSX with iTunes. I'm having some issues getting scripts to run. According to the docs, a script will fire when "The name of a script matches the name of a new audio track's title." This doesn't seem to be the case for me. I tried using the name of the song as it shows up in itunes (title), but no luck. I also tried using the same name as the mp3 file, but that doesn't. What am I missing?
Thanks!

Hello ffio
Is this what you are wanting to do?
How do I coordinate the start of an audio track with a script?
When a new audio track starts in your media player, G-Force will look for a script with a matching name to run (note: if the audio track is an mp3 file and contains ID tag data, then G-Force will use the ID track name instead of the track's filename). For example, suppose you have a script that's timecoded for "Andy Sings Opera.mp3". Rename your script to "Andy Sings Opera.txt", restart G-Force, play the audio track, and G-Force will automatically start the script. The scripting section describes scripts in detail, allowing you to coordinate G-Force with an audio track in exciting ways.
Remember to save your script to the G-Force Scripts folder.

Hi BTT, thanks for the prompt response and extra details about how this should work.
My file, "01 - Boombox.mp3" has ID tag data. The ID name tag of the mp3 is "Boombox." I started by naming my script "Boombox.txt" and restarting iTunes/G-Force. When I play the track in iTunes, the script does not run. I renamed the script "01 - Boombox.txt" matching the file name. Restarted iTunes/G-Force, but it still didn't run. I renamed the script "CTRL 9.txt", restarted iTunes/G-Force and it runs by pressing CTRL+9.
Thanks again for the help!
