Direct Known Subclasses:

public class ITObject
extends java.lang.Object

Defines a source, playlist or track. An ITObject uniquely identifies a source, playlist, or track in iTunes using four separate IDs. These are runtime IDs, they are only valid while the current instance of iTunes is running. As of iTunes 7.7, you can also identify an ITObject using a 64-bit persistent ID, which is valid across multiple invocations of iTunes. The main use of the ITObject interface is to allow clients to track iTunes database changes using iTunesEventsInterface.onDatabaseChangedEvent(). You can retrieve an ITObject with a specified runtime ID using iTunes.getITObjectByID(). An ITObject will always have a valid, non-zero source ID. An ITObject corresponding to a playlist or track will always have a valid playlist ID. The playlist ID will be zero for a source. An ITObject corresponding to a track will always have a valid track and track database ID. These IDs will be zero for a source or playlist. A track ID is unique within the track's playlist. A track database ID is unique across all playlists. For example, if the same music file is in two different playlists, each of the tracks could have different track IDs, but they will have the same track database ID. An ITObject also has a 64-bit persistent ID which can be used to identify the ITObject across multiple invocations of iTunes.
