UPDATED: Multi-Item Edit v7.8
This applet will allow you to view and edit most tags (and some additional options) of the selected track(s) in a single floating window using single-edit mode (one selected track) or multi-edit mode, which emulates the pre-iTunes 12 "multiple items" format; that is, a checkbox adjacent to each tag allows you to select which changes are to be applied to the selection's tags.
Can also be used to copy collected tags from one set of tracks to another set of tracks by toggling "Information Tracking".
Latest version:
- Minor UI update to mimic media apps' Favorite and Suggest Less terminology
More information for Multi-Item Edit v7.8 and download link is here.
UPDATED: Copy Tag Info Tracks to Tracks v6.8
This applet will copy specific tag data from one set of selected tracks to a second set of selected tracks. You can copy any combination of Checkmark, Song Title, Artist, Album Artist, Album, Genre, Year, Disc and Track, Composer, Grouping, Work, Movement, BPM, Comments, Lyrics, Rating, Favorite/Suggest Less, Plays/Skips, Artwork and Compilation.
Use with thoughtfulness. Both sets of selected tracks should be sorted by Play Order/Playlist Order (or at the very least using the same sorting) so the tag info is copied in the correct order from and to the intended tracks.
Only tracks in the local Media library are accessible. Tracks in the Apple Music interface are inaccessible.
Latest version:
- Minor UI changes to mimic Music app's (1.4.1+) Favorite and Suggest Less terminology

UPDATED: Rate Me! Rate Me! v6.7
This stay-open applet watches your playing tracks and when one begins playing displays a notification-sized panel whereby a Rating and/or Favorite or Suggest Less for the track can be entered. Features options to display only unrated playing tracks and timer preferences for how soon and how long the panel is displayed.
While you could easily rate the current track from the Music app's icon in the Dock, this script interrupts you and compels you to do so.
Latest version:
- UI adjustments to mimic the Music app's (1.4.1+) Favorite and Suggest Less widgets
- v6.6 (August 7, 2023):
- Fixed a glitch that made "stars" unclickable
- Minor UI and performance enhancements
- Accommodates macOS Sonoma 14

UPDATED: Album Rating Reset v5.4
This script will allow you to batch set or clear the Album Rating and/or Album Favorite/Suggest Less for the albums of the selected tracks or the albums associated with the tracks in a selected playlist (note that only a single track from any album need be selected in order to change the album rating or favorited of the entire album). Handy for clearing batches of albums of their user-set album ratings, or re-rating batches of albums.
Latest version:
- Minor UI and performance adjustments
- v5.3: (Aug 2023)
- Accommodations for macOS Sonoma 14
- Minor UI and performance adjustments

UPDATED: This Tag That Tag v6.3
This applet 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 - append data from one tag to the beginning of another, ex: ARTIST->ARTIST - COMPOSER
The latter three actions also provide an option to delete the info from the first tag after the copy. Read Me explains all.
Latest version:
- Fixes problem changing/storing delimiter text
- Accommodations for macOS Sonoma 14

UPDATED: Edit Category Tag v1.0
Universal, for macOS 11 and later only. The Category tag is a holdover from when iTunes managed podcasts. In the Music app, it is only visible and accessible when a playlist is in "Songs" View. This simple script will enable you to apply text to the Category tag of one or more selected tracks. (This tag is not transferred to the metadata of a track's file; it does not "travel" with a file.)
Latest version:
- Initial release
More information for Edit Category Tag v1.0 and download link is here.
UPDATED: Lyrics Tag Viewer v1.0
Universal, for macOS 11 and later only. View and edit a selected track's Custom Lyrics tag in a non-modal window, which, unlike a track's Info panel, will not block keyboard and mouse activity in the Music app's interface.
Latest version:
- Initial release
More information for Lyrics Tag Viewer v1.0 and download link is here.
UPDATED: Sundry Info To Comments v6.5
Copy your single choice of filename, file path (location), file's parent folder path, track's Date Added (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS), file creation date (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS), current playlist, volume adjustment, start/stop time (HH:MM.SS), rating stars as text, artwork size (WxH), purchaser name, purchaser account ID, encoder (if accessible) or SD/HD video to choice of Category, Comments or Description tag of each selected track. By putting data in one of these available tags it can be visible and sortable or used with Smart Playlist criteria.
I've kept the word "Comments" in the title of this script for legacy purposes, even though modern versions of it can write to other tags.
Latest version:
- Adds a track's "Date Added" to list of sundry items
- General maintenance
- Accomodations for macOS Sonoma 14

UPDATED: Album Rating Reset v5.3
This script will allow you to batch set or clear the Album Rating and/or Album Love/Suggest Less ( Dislike) for the albums of the selected tracks or the albums associated with the tracks in a selected playlist (note that only a single track from any album need be selected in order to change the album rating or loved of the entire album). Handy for clearing batches of albums of their user-set album ratings, or re-rating batches of albums.
