Script of the Day: Clipboard to Lyrics Scripts
Clipboard to Lyrics Scriptstwo scripts, "Clipboard to Current Track's Lyrics" and "Clipboard to Selected Track's Lyrics"will copy text from the clipboard (text you have copied from an email, text document or web page, for instance) to, respectively, the current track's or selected track's lyrics.
So, rather than open a track's Get Info window and click to the Lyrics tab, you only need to select a track (or play a track) and the launch script; it knows to copy the clipboard text to that track's Lyrics tag. This works even better when assigned a keyboard shortcut.

Script of the Day: Append to Selected Tag
Append to Selected Tag can append the same user-entered text to the beginning or ending of the existing text in the chosen tag (Song Name, Artist, Album Artist, Album, Composer, Comments, Genre, Grouping or Show Name, and their Sort siblings) in each selected track.
In this screenshot example, the text " Live" will be added to the end of the Genre tag of every selected track, no matter what its current Genre tag is. They don't all have to be the same.
The Preview field can be used to scroll through each track's target tag to make sure everything looks satisfactory.

Script of the Day: CD Text to CD Info
CD Text to CD Info will attempt to extract the CD Text information from the selected audio CD in iTunes and apply it to the CD's disc and track tags.
Some commercial CDs and commercial CD burning software (including iTunes) can use CD Text as a method of including text data on an audio CD. This data can include Artist (Performer), Album, Composer, Track Title, and Genre info. See the Read Me for more information.

UPDATED: This Tag That Tag v4.3
This Tag That Tag will assist with swapping, copying, and appending data between two user-chosen tags in selected tracks or tracks in the selected playlist:
Swap - swap data between tags, ex: ARTIST<->COMPOSER
Copy - copy data from one to another tag, ex: ARTIST->COMPOSER ARTIST
Append - append data from one tag to the end of another, ex: ARTIST->COMPOSER - ARTIST
Prepend - prepend data from one tag to the beginning of another, ex: ARTIST->ARTIST - COMPOSER
This lateset version adds "Date Added" and "Release Date" to the "This" tags. Like the number properties already available, date properties cannot Swap with the text properties available as "That" tags because date properties can't accept text. The dates can be coerced to text in this format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS so that they can be sorted properly.
This Tag That Tag is free to try for 10 days, $1.99 thereafter, free for registered users. More info and download is available here.
