Error 1712 - autorate wont rate my songs. AppleEvent timed out.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Opening Autorate & iTunes and clicking "begin rating"
2. Waiting as the software runs, after around 20 seconds the error below is 
given & the software stops running
3. "Encountered error - 1712 (iTunes got an error: AppleEvent timed out.) while 
attempting to obtain iTunes playlist. Please report this to the developer"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect autorate to rate my tunes as it has done successfully before, but it 
just generates this error message

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I am using autorate ver 1.6 with iTunes 10.2.2 on Mac OS 10.6.7

Please provide any additional information below.

I have used autorate successfully in the past. I went to re-rate my songs to 
update the starred ratings after listening many times to my iTunes library in 
the interim period and the above error message was given. There have been no 
other changes to my iTunes library, although I have updated to a new version of 
iTunes (10.2.2)
