AppleScript for iTunes
Bring Out Yer Dead v1.1
Obligatory warning: This script has been designated as an obsoleted "Retro Script". There is no guarantee that it will function as described with modern versions of iTunes (or the newer Music or TV apps) and/or macOS. If used in its current form it may not work at all without modification. At worst, it may corrupt or delete data.
This script will allow you to select a "dead" file track in iTunes (designated with the (!)) and attempt to locate a file using Spotlight that corresponds to the selected track's Song Name, Artist, and Album, and then replace the dead track with a file from the search results. All tag data, including artwork, is preserved from the original track selected.
Designated as a Retro Script because: never very efficient to begin with, the script is less so under modern circumstances.
(See the more modern Track CPR.)
(Note: In order to launch this PowerPC-era script on an modern machine, it must first be opened and then saved using Script Editor which is located in your /Applications/Utilities/ folder. More information is here.)
