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

UPDATED: Scan For Double Entries v4.1

Universal, for macOS 11 and later only. This applet will scan your Music library for pairs of track entries that--very strangely--point to the same file and then copy those tracks to a discrete playlist for further examination; presumably you'll want to remove one of the faux pair tracks without Trashing the single associated file.

UPDATED: CD-Text to CD Info v6.1
