UPDATED: Sundry Info to Comments v2.0
Correspondent Kerry E. emailed to ask if it was possible to somehow sort tracks by their file's file path or at the very least be able to create a Smart Playlist using the file path. This reminded me to dust off Sundry Info To Comments and I have updated it to v2.0. This script can paste various non-standard tag data and file info into each track's Comments tag, including the file path, parent folder path, file creation date, and so on. Thus you can use text in the Comments for SP creation and sorting schemes.
NEW: Long Description to Description
Long Description to Description will copy the contents a the Long Description tag to the Description tag of each selected track. The Description tag can only have 255 characters. Purchased/protected tracks cannot be modified with this script as iTunes will just default to the information in the file's meta data.
NEW: Comments to Description
Comments to Description will copy the contents of the Comments tag to the Description tag and/or Long Description tag of the selected tracks. (The Description and Long Description tags of purchased/protected media cannot be modified with this script. iTunes will always default to the embedded meta data in such files.)
NEW: Append BPM to Song Name
Append BPM to Song Name will append the BPM to your choice of beginning or ending of the Song Name for each selected track. For example, if placed at the end, a track name would look something like Runner On the Plains - Eurobeats * 124If a track's BPM tag is empty then the Song name is left as-is. Read Me describes cautions and optional modifications you can easily make.
Gracenote Search MIA?
I've never known Gracenote (CDDB) to be down for maintenance, so it's unusual to see a 404 when going to the Gracenote search page. What's up with that?
NEW: Composer Tag Composer
Compose the text of the composer tag, that is. Composer Tag Composer offers a little assistance when cleaning up your composer tags. I suppose one could sort the library by composer and multi-edit selected tracks, but this script doesn't require you to mess with sorting at all. Choose from a list of unique composer tags and then search for and replace a selected composer tag with new text.
UPDATED: Proper English Title Capitalization v2.0
I updated Proper English Title Capitalization—for the first time in almost seven years—to version 2.0. It's mostly a maintenance update, but I did make it run just a bit faster for Leopard or better by dumping the obsoleted "ASCII character of/number of" syntax. I also added "Show" and "Grouping" to the choice of tags to modify.
UPDATED: Append to Selected Tag v2.1
Append to Selected Tag got an update to v2.1. A couple of days ago when I posted v2.0 I left out a line of code that prevented the thing from working most of the time. Thanks to Correspondent David R. for bringing it to my attention.
UPDATED: CDDB Safari Kit v3.1
These two AppleScripts, "CDDB Safari" and "CDDB Tracks to iTunes via Safari", assist in finding and retrieving Album track information, Album, Artist, and Year from Gracenote's CDDB website using Apple's Safari browser. CDDB Safari Kit v3.1 addresses some minor changes in Gracenote's page formatting.
