Music app
NEW: Selected Tags to Lyrics v2.0
iPhone and iPad can display the lyrics tag full screen, which can allow for more tag information to be visible. This applet will copy the contents of selected tags in the Music app to the lyrics tag of each selected track as “Custom Lyrics”. Each tag will be labeled and listed vertically. The order of tag placement can be arranged by dragging the listed tag rows. Unneeded tags can be ignored. Then it’s just a matter of re-sync’ing the tracks to the device.

Latest version:
- Initial re-release for the Music app

NEW: Playlist Countdown v1.0
Back when we had record albums and cassette tapes every day of our lives, you could throw a glance at the player and get a pretty good idea of how much time was left on the side. Also, as a former radio DJ, I have a lingering professional anxiety about how long some sound thing is going to take to finish.
But when I play a playlist in the Music app I’m afraid my math skills are not speedy enough to calculate anything beyond “looks like it might be about half over I dunno”.
After years of having minor Quakes of Angst, I finally got around to making Playlist Countdown. It will countdown the time remaining in a playing playlist. If you need to know that. Like I know I frequently do.

Latest version:
- Initial release

If multiple album tracks are selected, the script will make sure only one image file per Album is exported.
