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.

CDs are Rippin’ Along
A report from Luminate in July that I mentioned at the time (via the Verge), noted a surge in CD sales this year. And now the Verge is reporting the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has also noticed: “A new report from the organization says 17.5 million CDs were sold in the first six months of the year, up from just 12 million during the same period in 2025. That’s a jump of 45.7 percent, and 58.6 percent in dollars, which reached $171.1 million.”
They point out that this doesn’t mean streaming is trending down. But why should it? When I was a teenager, I had the radio, a turntable, a casette deck and a portable player or two, and later a CD player. I didn’t give one up for another. They each served a different listening purpose. These days I stream Apple Music, listen to files I ripped as long as twenty-five years ago and still rip CDs. Still use a turntable every now and then, too.
Great to see CDs hanging in there.
NEW: Selected Tags to Lyrics v2.0
iPhone and iPad can display the lyrics tag full screen, which can allow for more tag information to be visible. This applet will copy the contents of selected tags in the Music app to the lyrics tag of each selected track as “Custom Lyrics”. Each tag will be labeled and listed vertically. The order of tag placement can be arranged by dragging the listed tag rows. Unneeded tags can be ignored. Then it’s just a matter of re-sync’ing the tracks to the device.
Latest version:
- Initial re-release for the Music app

NEW: Playlist Countdown v1.0
Back when we had record albums and cassette tapes every day of our lives, you could throw a glance at the player and get a pretty good idea of how much time was left on the side. Also, as a former radio DJ, I have a lingering professional anxiety about how long some sound thing is going to take to finish.
But when I play a playlist in the Music app I’m afraid my math skills are not speedy enough to calculate anything beyond “looks like it might be about half over I dunno”.
After years of having minor Quakes of Angst, I finally got around to making Playlist Countdown. It will countdown the time remaining in a playing playlist. If you need to know that. Like I know I frequently do.
Latest version:
- Initial release

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
