The ituneswatcher2 application (version 2.0.23) supports some command line switches which can be really useful for administration and testing purposes:

• /advanced: displays the advanced options in the context menu of the tray icon
• /debug: does the same as the “/advanced” command

If you want to start in advanced/debug mode permanently you can edit the settings.ini which is located in the ituneswatcher2 main directory.

• open the settings.ini in an editor
• change the value “mode” in the section “additional” to “advanced”
  

Now you have access to the following functions:

• force insert:
  insert the last inserted/detected track even if it was inserted previously
• insert custom:
  insert a custom data to test the communication
• show in browser:
  If this option is enabled ituneswatcher doesn’t insert the tracks via the built-in http-module. Now the urls open in your default browser
• request only first server:
  If you have entered multiple servers in the url-field and serperated them with “|” only the first server will be contacted to insert the track
• save history to playlist:
  All the recent added tracks will be saved to a m3u playlist
