Coverscope v2.9

This Stay-Open applet will allow you to scroll and select tracks in the Music app to display both the selected track's assigned track artwork and its local file's metadata artwork (if any exists). The Track entry artwork well supports copy, paste and drags. Pasting or dragging image data immediately applies the image to the selected track's artwork and attempts to embed it. Additional tools can Embed or Apply artwork between track and file.

Free to use in Demo Mode: While in Demo Mode, these functions will be enabled to use in any combination up to five times per launch:

• Embed Track Artwork (to the file)
• Apply Metadata Artwork (to the track entry)
• Paste or Drag an image file to Apply and Embed
• Copy Track Artwork to Clipboard
• Save Track Artwork to File

To purchase a registration code and remove this restriction, download and launch the app. Click "Register" in its File menu and follow the prompts to purchase a code for $3.99. When your payment is processed, you will be emailed a registration code that will unlock the Demo Mode restrictions.

Action shot:

The selected track has assigned artwork in the Music app but its associated file doesn't contain "embedded" image data in its metadata.

Show Me The Metadata v3.5

This script will display the audio metadata and the Spotlight metadata for the file of a selected track in the Music app or user-selected audio file, or a drag-and-dropped Music track or audio file. Includes additional features to display embedded artwork and activate the Finder's Information Window for the file.

Action shot:

The audio file's metadata is displayed in the top half and its Spotlight metadata is displayed in the bottom half.

Tracks Without Embedded Artwork v4.0

This applet will examine the files of the tracks in the entire Music library or a selected Smart playlist for artwork metadata. Eligible audio tracks whose files are capable of embedding image data but do not contain artwork metadata will be copied to a new discrete Results playlist for further examination.

Also see Re-Embed Artwork and Coverscope.

This app is free to try full-featured in Demo Mode. In Demo Mode it will perform a single scan for tracks without embedded artwork per launch and only reveal up to 10 it finds. If you like it you can purchase a code for $3.99 which will remove these restrictions. Launch the app and click "Register" in its File menu to make an in-app purchase.

Move Playlists to Folder v5.0

This applet will allow you to quickly move one or more selected playlists to an existing or new Playlist Folder instead of having to drag each of them one at a time.

Action shot:

Select the playlists you want to move (left panel) into the single selected Playlist Folder (right panel) and click the -> Move -> button.

Albums Amiss v2.0

This applet will generate a text file report listing the albums in the Music library whose track and disc numbers and counts are either missing or do not validate mathematically as a complete album. Additional options will check an album's tracks for same audio file kind, same compilation settings and single Album Artist and/or Sort Album Artist. (To be clear: the script does not check some kind of online database; it uses the extant local track entry information. Thus, tag accuracy is essential.)

Also see Albumizer which supplies track and disc numbers to selected tracks in their current play order and other album-centric tags.

Action shot:

Some of my results were, as far as *my* library goes, not actually amiss because of intentially partial albums or esoteric indexing schemes and such. But many of the results were--surprisingly--amiss. Particularly with regards to missing track and disc numbers.

Track Down Purchases v6.0

This applet can examine the Music library and sort tracks purchased from the iTunes Store 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.

To purchase a registration code, download and launch the app. Click "Register..." in its File menu and follow the prompts to purchase a code for $3.99. When your payment is processed, you will receive a registration code that will unlock the Demo Mode restriction.

Action shot:

People come and go. And leave their purchases on YOUR computer.

No Lyrics to Playlist v3.3

This applet will scan the Music library or a selected playlist for tracks whose "Custom Lyrics" tags are blank and copy them to a new discrete playlist. Can also toggle to search only for tracks with lyrics.

(Please Note: The script can only discover tracks with "Custom Lyrics" provided by the user. There is no accounting for lyrics made available via Apple Music or Cloud/Sync Library. That data is inaccessible.)

If you like, you can purchase a code for $3.99 which will remove the Demo Mode restrictions. Launch the app and click "Register..." in the its File menu to make an in-app purchase.

Action shot:

Choose to search the entire Music library or the currently selected playlist in Music.

Includes Show File in Finder and Copy Text to Clipboard and appearance options.

Action shot:

The window can be horizontally resized and positioned anywhere on-screen.

Media Folder Files Not Added v3.0

This application will list the file paths of the media files in your designated "Media" folder which are not associated with any tracks in the Music or TV app's track library. Additionally, a different parent folder can be user-selected and its contents will be compared to the current library. Includes options to Filter within results, Move a selection of found files to a user-chosen folder, Search for related tracks in Music app, Add (or drag-and-drop) a selection of found files to Music, move them to the Trash and Export a text file listing the file paths.
