What's AppleScript?
AppleScript is a simple Macintosh-only programming language that can control and automate actions on your Mac. AppleScript is already available on your computer as part of the macOS and many popular applications can be automated using AppleScript scripts. Scripts written for Apple's Music, TV and iTunes apps can manage files and track information, create playlists, interact with other applications, perform innovative tasks, and handle many kinds of chores with accuracy and precision which otherwise would be repetitive, laborious, and/or time-consuming.
Cool! Where Do I Start?

UPDATED: Scan For Double Entries v4.3
This applet will scan your Music library for pairs of track entries that--very strangely--point to the same file and then copy those tracks to a discrete playlist for further examination; presumably you'll want to remove one of the faux pair tracks without Trashing the single associated file.
More about this issue is here.
Latest version:
- Accommodations for macOS 26/Tahoe
More information for Scan For Double Entries v4.3 and download link is here.
UPDATED: Remove Leading-Trailing Spaces v3.4
This script will remove any number of extra space characters at the beginning and ending of chosen tags (Title, Artist/Director, Album Artist, Album, Composer, Genre, Grouping, Movement, Work and Show) in the selected tracks.
Latest version:

UPDATED: Not In Any Playlist v4.2

UPDATED: Track Down Purchases v5.3
This applet can examine the Music library and sort audio tracks purchased from iTunes into discrete playlists by either the purchaser's name or Apple ID (eg: "Purchased by Jane Smith" or "Purchased by janesmith@email.com") which in turn will be placed in a "Purchaser Playlists" playlist folder.
Free to try in Demo Mode: While in Demo Mode, the number of tracks associated with each Purchaser will be reported but sorting tracks into playlists is disabled. An in-app purchase of a registration code will enable playlist creation.

UPDATED: Album Rating Reset v5.5
This script will allow you to batch set or clear the Album Rating and/or Album Favorite/Suggest Less for the albums of the selected tracks or the albums associated with the tracks in a selected playlist (note that only a single track from any album need be selected in order to change the album rating or favorited of the entire album). Handy for clearing batches of albums of their user-set album ratings, or re-rating batches of albums.

UPDATED: Show Me The Metadata v3.4

UPDATED: Remove n Characters From Front or Back v7.3
