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.
Cool! Where Do I Start?

UPDATED: Album Rating Reset v5.6
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.
Latest version:
- UI updates
- Fixes problem with Settings panel
- Drops support for half-stars
More information for Album Rating Reset v5.6 and download link is here.
UPDATED: Apply Embedded Artwork v3.0
This script will examine each selected track’s local file for image metadata and apply it as the track’s album artwork.
Latest version:
- UI adjustments for macOS 27
- Displays operative artwork when available
- Maintenance and regression removals
More information for Apply Embedded Artwork v3.0 and download link is here.
UPDATED: Re-Embed Artwork v4.0
This applet will export then re-import the artwork data of the selected tracks obliging the Music app to embed the artwork in the track’s file’s meta-data.
Latest version:
- Remains open after each selected track batch is processed
- UI adjustments for macOS 27
More information for Re-Embed Artwork v4.0 and download link is here.
UPDATED: Restore Artwork from Album Folder v5.0
This applet will look for an image file in the parent folder of each selected track’s file–presumably its Album folder into which you have previously placed an image file of some sort–and apply the data from that image file as artwork for the track.
Also see Save Album Art to Album Folder and Save Album Art as folder.jpg which assist with exporting album artwork as image files.
Latest version:
- Remains open after each selected track batch is processed
- Displays operative artwork when available
- UI adjustments for macOS 27
More information for Restore Artwork from Album Folder v5.0 and download link is here.

Works with user-created regular playlists only.

More information for Assimilate View Options v6.4 and download link is here.

UPDATED: Doug’s Check For All Updates v2.0

Note: previous versions of this script will cease to work on January 1, 2027.
Latest version:
- UI updates, maintenance

UPDATED: Playlist Manager v5.1
The Music app only allows one playlist to be selected at a time. I mean, it makes sense. Select two arbitrary playlists and what would be displayed in the browser window? I’ll bet no one knows. I think it would be Messy. That’s my guess.
Playlist Manager v5.1 can perform common useful tasks on a multiple selection of playlists: playlist title renaming (add text, remove text, search and replace text, text transforms), change View, duplicate, delete, export, move to Playlist Folder, merge playlists and remove track copies.
Latest version:
- Minor UI update
- Maintenance
- Icon and docs update
More information for Playlist Manager v5.1 and download link is here.
UPDATED: Compare Two Playlists v5.3
Quickly compares the contents of any two playlists and displays the tracks that are common to both or the tracks in one playlist not contained by the other. Has tools to copy or move tracks from one playlist to another or delete common tracks from one or the other playlist.
Latest version:
- Fixed a modern problem indexing playlists
- Minor UI update
More information for Compare Two Playlists v5.3 and download link is here.
UPDATED: Remove Duplicate Tracks from Playlist v2.1
Tracks may have been dragged/added/copied to a user playlist two or more times—defying the Music app’s caution about adding them—and now each of them appears multiple times in the playlist. This script will remove all but one of these kind of duplicate tracks from a selected playlist. (This does not have anything to do with duplicate files that each have an individual track entry in the Music library.)
Also see Remove From Other Playlists which does what it says.
Latest version:
- UI rebuild
- Maintenance and minor fixes
