UPDATED: Remove From Other Playlists v2.3
This script will remove all replications of the selected tracks from every other user-created playlist (ignoring Smart, Genius, Apple Music, Shared and Media Library playlists, which are dynamic). The original selected tracks will not be removed from the selected playlist.
Also see Copy Tracks to Multiple Playlists.
Latest version:
- Fixes issue that could have prevented some playlists from being accessed
- General maintenance

NEW: Play Previous Play Next Playlist v1.0

Latest version:
- Initial release

UPDATED: List MIAs v6.4
This applet checks your Music or TV library for missing and presumed dead tracks--those tracks that have become disassociated from their file and which are listed with a "!"--and can delete them from the app or create a text file listing these tracks by last known File Path, Title, Artist and Album, which you can view using TextEdit.
Latest version:
- Maintenance and minor performance fixes
- Tested successfully with macOS Sonoma 14

UPDATED: Tracks Without Embedded Artwork v3.2
MP3, AAC and ALAC audio files have the capability to store artwork image data internally as metadata, thus allowing artwork to "travel" with a file. This applet will examine the files of the selected tracks (or tracks in the selected 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 playlist.
Note: Music-assigned artwork may not necessarily be embedded as metadata; pre-ID3v2 MP3s do not store image data; this applet ignores how the Finder may or may not display an audio file's icon image.
Latest version:
- Maintenance release, general updating
- Tested successfully in macOS Sonoma 14

UPDATED: Duplicate Playlist Folder as Playlist v3.0
This script will copy all the unique tracks in a selected Playlist Folder to a new "plain" playlist, essentially duplicating the tracks as viewed when the Playlist Folder is selected. Optionally, after copying, the selected source Playlist Folder can be deleted along with the playlists it contains (of course, the tracks remain in your library). Note that if any "dead" tracks exist at any level of the selected Playlist Folder the script will fail.
Latest version:
- Expanded main window UI to better accommodate settings and options
- Performance, UI and security enhancements

UPDATED: A Space Between v3.3
This applet will play each track in the selected playlist and will wait (one might say insert but that's technically incorrect) a user-set number of seconds between each. Play can commence at the "top" of the playlist or from a selected track.
Latest version:
- Corrects UI Scripting issue that may have prevented operation
- Tested with macOS Sonoma 14

NEW: Audition Segues v1.0
Play a set number of seconds from the end of each track in a playlist thru a set number of seconds into the next track in order to evaluate how the tracks segue.
Latest version:
- Initial release

UPDATED: Needle Drop v7.7
This applet plays each track in the selected Music playlist for a set time interval optionally starting at a set number of seconds into each track, beginning with the selected track. Handy for 'scoping playlists.
Needle Drop will work best on tracks that have local files. Un-cached tracks streamed from the cloud may upset timing while audio is being downloaded.
Also see Audition End.
Latest version:
- Updates UI Scripting to correct an issue that may have prevented operation
- Tested with macOS Sonoma 14

UPDATED: Audition End v3.7
Play through each track in a playlist by a set number of seconds (:05 - :60) from the end. Additionally, wait a set number of seconds between each track; when engaged, begins playing from the first track or the first selected track in the playlist.
