UPDATED: Music Folder Files Not Added v5.2
I think I finally licked a text encoding problem with Music Folder Files Not Added in this latest version.
Music Folder Files Not Added will list the file paths of the files in your designated "iTunes Media" folder which are not in iTunes' track library. Additionally, you can select a different parent folder and its contents will be compared to the iTunes library. The files listed in this screenshot are located in my "iTunes Media" folder but have no associated track entry in iTunes:
Includes options to Filter results, Add a selection of found files to iTunes (Mobile Applications can not be added this way), move them to the Trash, and Export a text file listing the file paths.
Several users had been reporting issues with text encodings (especially with Greek, German and Cyrillic text, but others also) and this version addresses this problem.

UPDATED: Music Folder Files Not Added v5.0
Music Folder Files Not Added v5.0 will list the file paths of the files in your designated "iTunes Media" folder which are not in iTunes' track library.
The files listed in this screenshot are in my iTunes Media/Music/ folder but are not in the iTunes track library. In my case, this iTunes Media folder is used by two different iTunes installations on different partitions, so it is also possible that these files are added as track entries in the iTunes on the other partition. However, it is not uncommon to delete the tracks from iTunes without choosing to Trash the files.
Additionally, you can select a different parent folder and its contents will be compared to the iTunes library. Includes options to Filter results, Add a selection of found files to iTunes (Mobile Applications can not be added this way), move them to the Trash, and Export a text file listing the file paths.
This latest version includes PDF, Mobile Application, iTunes LP and iTunes Extra files when used with iTunes 12.2 or later; adds a Filter option to show only file paths containing entered text; has general performance tweaks.
Music Folder Files Not Added is free to try for 10 days and is $1.99 thereafter. More information and download is on this page.

Script of the Day: PDF Adder
PDF Adder is a collection of two scripts that each assist with adding PDF files to iTunes as "digital booklet" PDF tracks. Each provides a method for easily supplying Author (artist), Album, Category (genre), Year, Rating and Description tag data which is then applied to the newly-added PDF track entry:
- Add as PDF to iTunes is a PDF Service workflow that, when installed, will be available in the PDF pop-up menu of the Print Dialog. It allows you to save the current document as a PDF file (from any application that uses the Print Dialog) and add it to iTunes.
- PDF Adder is an applet/droplet that will let you choose or drag-and-drop an existing PDF file and add it to iTunes. It can be installed in iTunes' Scripts folder for easy access from iTunes Script menu.
Here are some suggestions for your own "digital booklets":
- Album lyrics/liner notes
- Music production notes
- Manuals
- Receipts/order confirmations
- DJ set lists
- Podcast addenda
- Audiobook chapter synopses
- Lecture notes
- Sound effects indexes
Anything you can print, you can make into a PDF...and any PDF can be added to iTunes.

Script of the Day: Export Files From Playlists
Export Files From Playlists will export copies of the files of the tracks in two or more playlists to a single user-selected folder.

Script of the Day: Track CPR
Track CPR will assist with associating replacement files with a batch of dead tracks. iTunes can perform this task, too, but only one track at a time.
The script will attempt to locate existing files (recursively) in a user-selected folder that have the exact same filenames and extensions as the missing files of a selection of dead tracks. Then, you can determine if the found files are viable replacements for the missing files and the script will perform the replacement.
In the screenshot above, the blue-colored files have been selected to replace the missing files of the corresponding set of dead tracks.
There is information in the accompanying Read Me that you should read. More information and download is on this page.

UPDATED: Copy From Start to Stop v2.1
Copy From Start to Stop v2.1 makes a copy of the selected track using its Start and Stop times as the beginning and ending of the new file and adds to Library, with option to name new track/file. It's handy for creating a new file from a portion of a larger file.
Works as a fine companion to the script Player Position to Start or Stop, which sets the Start or Stop time of the currently loaded track to the time of the paused player position.
This latest version is a general maintenance update because it may have appeared damaged on recent operating systems.

UPDATED: Music Folder Files Not Added v4.4
Music Folder Files Not Added v4.4 will list the file paths of the files in your designated "iTunes Media" folder which are not in iTunes' track library. Additionally, you can select a different parent folder and its contents will be compared to the iTunes library. Includes options to Add a selection of found files to iTunes, move them to the Trash, and export a text file listing the file paths.
This latest version has a couple of minor UI and maintenance fixes. Free to try full-featured for ten days, $1.99 thereafter; it's a free update for registered users.
