Writing Apple Script

I want to be able to write a simple apple script to change the tags on some of my songs in itunes when I highlight them. How would I go about this?

You could use a program called "MP3Tag" - edit the tags of the songs you wish - and re-add the songs into your library

I just want a script that I can run from the itunes script menu to easily retag them. I want to set the Album Artist, Album Name and a few other tags to pre-chosen ones.

I dont want to edit the tags to their real album things.

I put all my blog music into an album thats got a certain name and a certain number of set items, like album artist, sort artist, artwork etc, and i want to be able to mass set that through a script..

In my experience of batch editing iTunes stuff, Automator does a good job. The iTunes variables has things such as 'get current selection' and edit various 'get info' parameters. Might be worth a try, I think it will do what you want.
