UPDATED: Save Album Art to Album Folder v7.4
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.
Latest version:
- Maintenance and minor performance fixes
- Fixes glitch in Settings

UPDATED: Save Album Art as folder.jpg v5.3
This script will export the artwork of the selected tracks or tracks in the selected playlist as a JPEG image file named folder.jpg to the folder which contains each selected track's file--presumably the track's Album folder. Many third-party music players and systems may look for a "folder.jpg" here to use as display artwork. If multiple album tracks are selected, the script will make sure only one image file per Album is exported.
Latest version:
- Maintenance and minor performance fixes

UPDATED: Restore Artwork from Album Folder v4.7
This script will look for an image file in the parent folder of each selected track's file--presumably its Album folder in which you have previously placed an image file of some sort--and apply the data from that image file as artwork for the track.
Also see Save Album Art to Album Folder and Save Album Art as folder.jpg which assist with exporting album artwork as image files.
Latest version:
- Maintenance and minor performance fixes for Sonoma

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: Drop and Export Artwork v3.0
Drag-and-drop one or more audio files that contain embedded image metadata to export the image data as a JPEG or PNG file named using tag metadata from each file. Has options to save image files with the source audio files or as a batch in a single user-selected folder.
Latest version:
- Generally updated from previous 2019 version
- Tested successfully in macOS Sonoma beta

UPDATED: Save Album Art to Album Folder v7.3
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.

Latest version:
- Fixes issue with ambiguous directory delimiter characters in filenames
- v7.2 (jan 1, 2023):
- Maintenance and minor performance fixes
- Accommodations for macOS 13 Ventura

UPDATED: Re-Embed Artwork v3.4
This script will export then re-import the artwork data of the selected tracks obliging the Music app to embed the artwork in the track's file's meta-data.
For best results, use with an album's worth of tracks--or so--at a time. Music may be obliged to perform a number of background tasks when applying image data and may prevent the script from proceeding if a large amount of data is involved.
- Maintenance and minor performance fixes
- Accommodations for macOS 13 Ventura

UPDATED: Apply Embedded Artwork v2.1
This script will examine each selected track's local file for image metadata and apply it as the track's album artwork.
There may be a bug in the way the Music app updates the media library from iTunes which results in "artwork-less" tracks, despite the existence of image metadata in a track's file. This script will try to rectify this for a selection of tracks. Read the Read Me.
UPDATED: Re-Apply Downsized Artwork v5.1
This applet will examine the artwork of each selected track (or tracks in the selected playlist) and if greater than a user-set resolution (n x n pixels) will downscale the image to that resolution. Artwork already at the set resolution or smaller will not be affected. Includes options to pad image to make square, adjust preview proportionally and export displayed artwork to disk.
Latest version:
- Maintenance and minor performance fixes
- Accommodations for macOS 13 Ventura

UPDATED: Artwork as Album Folder Icon v3.2
This script can be used two ways:
When run as an Applet, it will use the assigned artwork from the selected tracks as the icon for the folder containing each track's corresponding file in the Finder--presumably, this is the file's "Album" folder.
When launched as a Droplet--by dragging one or more folders to its icon--it will examine every folder (at all depths) for the first audio file in any folder that contains image metadata and use that image as the icon for that folder.
Latest version:
- Maintenance and minor performance fixes
- Accommodations for macOS 13 Ventura
