Welcome!
Download hundreds of AppleScripts for Apple's Media Apps that will help make managing your digital music and video collection easier and more fun!
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.
And, perhaps most conveniently, AppleScripts can be launched from the Music app's Script menu and can even be assigned Keyboard Shortcuts.

UPDATED: Save Album Art to Album Folder v8.0
This script will export the artwork of each of the selected tracks (or the tracks in a selected playlist) as an image file to the folder which contains each selected track’s file–presumably each track’s Album folder–or to a single user-selected folder. If multiple album tracks are selected, the script will make sure only one artwork file per Album is exported.
Also see Save Album Art as folder.jpg.
Latest version:
- UI and layout updates for macOS 26 and later
- Adds option to delete any existing image files in the Album folder before new export
- Code maintenance
- Icon and docs update

UPDATED: Save Album Art as folder.jpg v6.0
This script will export the artwork of the selected tracks or tracks in the selected playlist as a JPEG image file named folder.jpg to the folder which contains each selected track’s file–presumably the track’s Album folder. Many third-party music players and systems may look for a “folder.jpg” here (or “cover.jpg” “album.jpg”, “artwork.jpg”, etc) to use as display artwork. If multiple album tracks are selected, the script will make sure only one image file per Album is exported.
Also see Save Album Art to Album Folder.
Latest version:
- UI and layout updates for macOS 26 and later
- Code maintenance
- Icon and docs update

UPDATED: Artwork as Album Folder Icon v3.4
This script will use the assigned artwork from the selected tracks as the icon for the folder containing each track’s corresponding file in the Finder–presumably, this is the file’s “Album” folder.
Latest version:
- UI and layout updates for macOS 26 and later
- Minor maintenance

Getting Ready for macOS 27
I’ve run all of the macOS 27 Developer Betas to date. And with the exception of some issues early on—now resolved—I’ve been pretty pleased with how Golden Gate has been working. I think I can safely say that scripts and apps that ran in macOS 26 Tahoe will work fine in the macOS 27 final release. I might even say run better, but that may just be my experience with an uncluttered clean install of the betas.
In case you didn’t know, macOS 26 Tahoe is the last Mac operating system that will run on Intel Macs; macOS 27 and later will require an Apple silicon processor Mac. If my math is right, these last Intel Macs will be about six or seven years old by now. Rosetta 2, which Apple makes available for Apple silicon Macs that need to run Intel-based apps, will also be phased out. If you are running an old-style, strictly Intel-based script you should check for the latest version. Modern versions of scripts have been Apple silicon compatible, aka “Universal”, for several years. Most have a minimum system version requirement of macOS 12. I’m likely to increase this to 14 or 15 in the coming year.
