UPDATED: Playlist Manager v5.0

The Music app only allows one playlist to be selected at a time. This applet can perform common useful tasks on a multiple selection of playlists: playlist title renaming (add text, remove text, search and replace text, text transforms), change View, duplicate, delete, export, move to Playlist Folder, merge playlists and remove track copies.

This app is free to try full-featured in Demo Mode. While in Demo Mode, only up to 10 playlists can be manipulated per launch. If you like it you can purchase a code for $2.99 which will unlock the Demo Mode limitation. Launch the app and click "Register..." in its File menu to make an in-app purchase.

Latest version:

  • Accommodations for macOS 26/Tahoe
  • Adds Text Transformations
  • Adds Set View options
  • Adds Remove copies of tracks option
  • Adds CSV as an export-as-file option
  • Adds "Edit Info" panel to edit names and descriptions
  • Preview field larger
  • Fixes a number of regressions

UPDATED: De-Genre v6.0

This script re-assigns the tracks of selected Genres to another Genre, ostensibly so that the original--and consequently any un-assigned-Genres--disappear from the Music app's Genre pop-up list. Of course, it can also be used simply to batch-edit Genres without having to assemble the tracks first.

As you may know, you can make superfluous Custom Genres vanish from the Genre pop-up list simply by eliminating a reference to them in your tracks; when no tracks are assigned to a particular Genre, that Genre will be dropped. (Note however that Music's original Genre names cannot be removed this way; only those accumulated from other sources or created by you.)

Latest version:

  • Accommodations for macOS 26/Tahoe
  • Adds sorting options
  • Fixes toggle-size issue

NEW: Save Album Art to Photos v1.0

Years ago it seemed to make sense to have a script that exported track artwork to iPhoto—as it was known at the time. So I made such a thing. But sometime around iPhoto 5 it got too cumbersome to deal with and maintain, and so I abandoned it.

I revisited it recently and doesn't seem so cumbersome now. Huh.

Save Album Art to Photos will export the artwork of the selected Music app tracks as image files to the Photos app. Includes options for changing image format, chosing a destination Photos album, custom keyword creation and more.

Latest version:

  • Initial release
