UPDATED: Media Folder Files Not Added v1.3
For macOS 10.15 Catalina or later. This application will list the file paths of the media files in your designated "Media" folder which are not associated with any tracks in the Music or TV app's' track library.

Includes options to Export a text file listing the file paths, Filter within results, Add a selection of found files to Music or TV, and move them to the Trash. The latter two features are only available in the registered version.

UPDATED: Flush Apple Music Cache Files v2.0
For macOS 10.15 and later. Apple Music stores the audio files it plays in ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Music/SubscriptionPlayCache/. This script will simply delete that folder.
The files in this folder are specially protected audio files that are downloaded and cached when you play a track from Apple Music on your Mac. They can't be user-played and are only useful to Apple Music, ostensibly so they needn't be re-downloaded if they are played again. (This cache folder doesn't pertain to Radio music. Or to Apple Music you've added to your library for offline listening, the files of which are stored in your "Media" folder.)
Latest version:
- Accommodations for macOS 10.15 Catalina and the Music app
- Performance and security enhancements

UPDATED: List MIAs v5.4
For macOS 10.15 Catalina and later only. This applet checks your Music or TV library for missing and presumed dead tracks--those tracks that have become disassociated from their file and which are listed with a "!"--and can delete them from the app or create a text file listing these tracks by last known File Path, Song Name, Artist and Album, which you can view using TextEdit.
Also see Super Remove Dead Tracks and Media Folder Files Not Added.
Free to use in Demo Mode: While in Demo Mode, dead tracks will be displayed and can be exported as a list to a text file. Delete from Music/TV and other features will be disabled.
To purchase a registration code and remove these restrictions, download and launch the app. Click "Register..." in its File menu and follow the prompts to purchase a code for $2.99. When your payment is processed, you will be emailed a registration code that will unlock the Demo Mode restrictions.

UPDATED: Multi-Item Edit v6.5
For macOS 10.15 and later only. 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".
Thanks to Wolfgang Reszel for the icon.
Latest version:
- Address issue with some TV app tags (TV's Short Description issue still a problem)
- Ratings popup dropped for more Music-like ratings widget

UPDATED: Super Remove Dead Tracks v5.2
For macOS 10.15 Catalina or later. Scans the Music or TV app for tracks whose files are inaccessible or no longer available (so-called "dead" tracks) and removes them. Outputs a tab-delimited text log listing the tracks that were removed by Artist, Name, Album and last known file location. Optional test run mode allows you to log the tracks that would have been deleted.

UPDATED: List MIAs v5.3
For macOS 10.15 Catalina and later only. This applet checks your Music library for missing and presumed dead tracks--those tracks that Music is unable to associate with a file and which are listed in Music with a "!"--and can delete them from the Music app or create a text file listing these tracks by last known File Path (if available), Song Name, Artist and Album, which you can view using TextEdit.

UPDATED: Side Splitter v2.0
For macOS 10.15 Catalina and later only. This script will copy a selection of tracks (presumably the tracks of a single particular album) into separate user-designated "album side" playlists and place these playlists in a distinct Playlist Folder. The script will then play each playlist "side" one at a time, pausing after each one until you accede to play the next "side" (as might occur with an actual LP record).
You can get the track order for an album if you Search Discogs or Search Wikipedia.
Written as a sort of joke to illustrate the awkwardness of recreating an analog music listening experience digitally.
Latest version:
- Accommodations for macOS 10.15 Catalina
- Adds option to "insert" 4 seconds of delay between tracks
- Performance and security enhancements

UPDATED: Year of Release Date to Year v3.0
For macOS 10.15 Catalina and later only. This script will try to grab the year from the Release Date tag of each selected track and copy it to its Year tag. Results are not always fruitful--like, if there is no Release Date tag associated with the track--in which case a track's current Year tag is left unchanged.
FYI: Release Date, like Date Added, is read-only and cannot be altered.
Latest version:
- Accommodations for macOS 10.15 Catalina
- Performance and security enhancements

UPDATED: Player Position to Start or Stop v3.0
For macOS 10.15 Catalina and later only. Sets the Start or Stop time of the currently paused or playing track to the time of the current player position.

UPDATED: Copy From Start to Stop v3.0
Makes a copy of the selected track using its Start and Stop times as the beginning and ending of the new file and adds to Library, with option to name new track/file. If using with file tracks, NOTE: you may experience some degradation of audio quality if you re-encode a file (one which has already been encoded), and thus the quality of your copy may be a matter of taste. Mileage will vary.
