NEW: List Playlists v1.0

Once upon the iTunes time, I had a script that showed the playlists in which a selected track was contained. When the Music app time dawned, I never bothered updating it. It used the regularly-updated XML library file for track and playlist information but the Music app did away with that.

Finally got around to making it work with the Music app. Ongelooflijk!

List Playlists is a stay-open applet that will detect whenever a track is selected (or playing) in the Music app and display a list of the playlists that contain it (saving you the clicks to show Music’s transient “Show In Playlist” modal menu). If more than one track is selected, a list of the common playlists that contain them—if any—will be displayed.
