UPDATED: Tracks Without Embedded Artwork v2.1
For macOS 10.15 Catalina and later only. MP3, AAC and ALAC audio files have the capability to store artwork image data internally as metadata, thus allowing artwork to "travel" with a file. This applet will examine the files of the selected tracks (or tracks in the selected playlist) for artwork metadata. Eligible audio tracks whose files are capable of embedding image data but do not contain artwork metadata will be copied to a new discrete playlist.
Note: Music-assigned artwork may not necessarily be embedded as metadata; pre-ID3v2 MP3s do not store image data; this applet ignores how the Finder may or may not display an audio file's icon image.
This app is free to try full-featured in Demo Mode. In Demo Mode it will only discover 20 tracks without embedded artwork per launch. If you like it you can purchase a code for $1.99 which will unlock the 20 count restriction. Launch the app and click "Register…" in its File menu to make an in-app purchase through PayPal.
Latest version:
- Fixes regressions with UI
- Minor performance enhancements
- Removes 10-day trial; un-registered version only discovers 20 tracks without embedded artwork per launch

UPDATED: Proper English Title Capitalization v4.2
For macOS 10.15 Catalina and later only. Capitalizes the first letter of each word in your choice of the Name, Artist, Album Artist, Album, Comments, Composer, Grouping, Movement, Work, or Show tags of the selected tracks, but based on conventional rules of title capitalization in the English language. Thus, "what it feels like for a girl (above and beyond 12'' club mix)" becomes "What It Feels Like for a Girl (Above and Beyond 12'' Club Mix)". Two user-editable Exception Lists can handle words that should not be title-capped or modified. Test Run feature enables you to see what would be changed displayed in a separate Test Run Log window.
Latest version:
- Maintenance update
- UI adjustments, minor performance enhancements

UPDATED: Copy Tag Info Tracks to Tracks v6.2
For macOS 10.15 Catalina and later. 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 Name, Artist, Album Artist, Album, Genre, Year, Disc and Track, Composer, Grouping, Work, Movement, BPM, Comments, Lyrics, Rating, Loved/Disliked, 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. Apple Music's "For You", "Browse" and "Radio" tracks are inaccessible.
Latest version:
- Maintenance update
- UI improvements

NEW: Drop A Few My Way v5.0
For macOS 10.15 and later only. Drag and drop audio files to this droplet to have the Music app convert them with an encoder selected on the fly, restoring the Preferences-set encoder afterwards, and save them to a user-selected location. The converted files/tracks are removed from the Music app, as though it "never saw them". Includes option to delete the source audio files.
Latest version:
- Accommodations for macOS 10.15 Catalina and the Music app
- Performance and security enhancements

UPDATED: Save Album Art as folder.jpg v4.3
For macOS 10.15 Catalina and later only. This script will export the artwork of the selected tracks or tracks in the selected playlist as a JPEG image file named folder.jpg to the folder which contains each selected track's file--presumably the track's Album folder. Many third-party music players and systems (Sonos, for example) may look for a "folder.jpg" here to use as display artwork. If multiple album tracks are selected, the script will make sure only one image file per Album is exported.
Also see Save Album Art to Album Folder.
Latest version:
- Removed 10-day trial; up to 5 image files can be processed per launch in unregistered version
- Updated UI
- Additional accommodations for macOS 10.15 requisites

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

Latest version:
- Removed 10-day trial; up to 5 image files can be processed per launch in unregistered version

For example, delete the initial digits and the space from "01 First Track", "02 Second Track", and so on.

NEW: Sundry Info To Comments v5.0

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:

NEW: Roman Numerals to Upper Case v2.0
This script will convert any Roman numerals in the Name, Grouping, Work and Movement tags of each selected track to upper case. (Note that this will affect the stand-alone letters "C" and "D"--if, perhaps, they are used to designate key--and the English pronoun "I". Of course, these are conventionally upper-cased anyway.)
Latest version:
- Accommodations for macOS 10.15 Catalina and general maintenance
- Adds Grouping, Work and Movement tags
- Adds "Test" option when a single track is selected to view Name change before committing
- Performance and security enhancements
