UPDATED: Re-Locate Selected v3.0
For macOS 11 and later only. This script will re-locate the files of the selected tracks from their current location to a single user-chosen folder. The Music app (or TV app) will be updated with each track's new location and all of each track's meta-data will be preserved. Optionally leave a copy of each file in its original location (albeit disassociated from any Music or TV app tracks).
NOTE: If your "Keep Media folder organized" preference is set, you will not be able to create new folders or re-locate files within the Media folder; outside of it is OK.
Latest version:
- Initial support for macOS 12 Monterey
- UI updates, performance improvements

UPDATED: Drop A Few My Way v5.4
For macOS 10.15 and later only. Drag and drop audio files to this droplet to have the Music app convert them with an encoder selected on the fly, restoring the Preferences-set encoder afterwards, and save them to a user-selected location. The converted files/tracks are removed from the Music app, as though it "never saw them". Includes option to delete the source audio files.

UPDATED: Media Folder Files Not Added v2.0

Additionally, a different parent folder can be user-selected and its contents will be compared to the current library. Includes options to Filter within results, Move a selection of found files to a user-chosen folder, Add (or drag-and-drop) a selection of found files to Music or TV, move them to the Trash and Export a text file listing the file paths.

UPDATED: Track CPR v4.0
For macOS 11 and later only. This script will assist with re-associating replacement files with dead tracks. The Music app can perform this task, too, but only one track at a time.
The process takes 3 steps:
- The script finds and lists the "dead" tracks in the Music library
- User drag-and-drops potential replacement files to the window; a viable replacement file is one whose name, album and artist metadata matches a dead track's
- Re-associate viable replacement files with their matched track entries
The Read Me contains additional important details and cautions.
Latest version:
- Initial accommodation for macOS 12 Monterey
- UI, performance and security enhancements

UPDATED: File Renamer v4.9
For macOS 11 and later only.
