Managing Playlists

UPDATED: Move Playlists to Folder v2.0

Move Playlists to Folder allows you to select one or more playlists to move into a selected folder. This latest version just has some performance fixes.

UPDATED: Export Smart Playlist Criteria v2.0

Export Smart Playlist Criteria will create an XML file containing just the criteria of the selected Smart Playlist(s). This file can then be imported into any iTunes using the "Import..." menu command. Since the XML file contains only the rules for a Smart Playlist and not its track data, you can handily back up your Smart Playlist criteria or share with other users...just zip and email.

NEW: Rescue Playlists from Folder

The script Rescue Playlists from Folder will extricate all of the playlists in a selected Folder at once by making a copy of each in the Source column and then deleting the original from the selected parent Folder. Otherwise, to yank playlists out of a Folder, you have to drag each one--one at a time--to the left edge of the Source column.

UPDATED: Compare Two Playlists v2.0

Four year old Compare Two Playlists has been completely re-written. Quickly evaluates two playlists for tracks that are common to both and exclusive to each, creating a text file report on the Desktop.

UPDATED: New iPod Playlist From Selection v3.0

New iPod Playlist From Selection will copy the selected iTunes track, or the tracks of a selected playlist, to a new iPod playlist. Works only with iPods set to "Manually manage songs and videos", that is, not to sync.

UPDATED: BlockParty! v2.0

I have updated Block Party! to version 2.0. I actually did this a couple of days ago but with the site problems mentioned below I hadn't gotten around to mentioning it.

NEW: Divvy Up For DVDs v1.0

Divvy Up For DVDs will create DVD-sized (no greater than aproximately 4.37GB) playlists using the selected tracks or playlist of tracks. Each created playlist is numbered sequentially, for example, "My Name Is Earl, Season 2 - Disc 1", "My Name Is Earl, Season 2 - Disc 2", and so on.

UPDATED: Block Party! v1.5

I've updated Block Party! to v1.5. This script creates a "Block Party" playlist of random Artists and a specific number of their randomly selected songs arranged in a row ("two-fers", "three-fers", etc). Now works faster by virtue of being a compiled script, plus a few routines have been speeded up. Other changes include the ability to filter out movie and PDF tracks, filter out tracks smaller than a particular time limit, and filter out tracks of specific genres, the latter two of which are hackable in the body of the script.

NEW: Artist - Album - Disc from Selected Track

Artist - Album - Disc from Selected Track creates a new playlist--with the intention of burning its tracks to a CD--based on a single selected track's artist, album, and disc number. The tracks are ordered by album track number. There are other things to consider as well, so be sure to read the docs.

UPDATED: Tracks Without Artwork to Playlist v2.2

Tracks Without Artwork to Playlist will survey the selected tracks or the selected Playlist for tracks without any artwork and quickly copy them to a new discrete Playlist. This latest version corrects for some rare "false positives".
