  I didn't realize the unsafety of NSAppleScript - so I have been quite
lucky, because my usage of applescript in non-main threads haven't caused me
any problems.

  ScriptingBridge seems not to be thread safe, too.  Adding a track to the
iTunes library using either applescript or SB will cause a block of the app
if iTunes has dialog windows opened.

  The solution could be writing a command line application, wich does all
the work you need, either using AS or SB.
