Call AppleScript from Chrome Extension

Question

Is this possible?

I want to modify song tags in iTunes from the extension.

Answer 1

You can't call applescript or execute shell commands directly from chrome. However, a clever workaround is to start a web service on your computer that listens for web requests, and build an extension that calls this service. An example for something like this in action is the LiveReload extension which uses a Ruby background service.
