iTunes Automator workflows no longer working after iTunes 10

iTunes Automator workflows no longer working after iTunes 10
Apparently the problem is caused by the way numbers are listed alphabetically instead of by numerical size, which results in the latest iTunes' version (10.0) being listed as smaller than the previous version (9.0). Because of this Automator rejects the use of the workflow actions with the new version of iTunes.To fix this problem, you will need to edit each workflow action and change the version requirement string for the action to something lower than "1" so Automator will identify it properly.Go to the /System/Library/Automator/ folderRight-click each non-working action and choose "Show Package Contents."Open the "Info.plist" file for each in a text editor that supports authentication such as "TextWrangler" or in Apple's Property List Editor.Scroll down to the "AMRequiredResources" section in the file and change the Version string from "4.6" to "0"Save the file, and open the action to load it into Automator.Do this for all other workflows and they should all load properly when you next launch Automator.Questions?
