Download hundreds (620 and counting) of AppleScripts for Apple's Media Apps that will help make managing your digital music and video collection easier and more fun!
What's AppleScript?
AppleScript is a simple Macintosh-only programming language that can control and automate actions on your Mac. AppleScript is already available on your computer as part of the macOS and many popular applications can be automated using AppleScript scripts. Scripts written for Apple's Music, TV and iTunes apps can manage files and track information, create playlists, interact with other applications, perform innovative tasks, and handle many kinds of chores with accuracy and precision which otherwise would be repetitive, laborious, and/or time-consuming.

UPDATED: Playlists Info v2.0

NEW: Reset Tracks v1.0
The Music.app has a "Reset" button in the Details panel of each track's Get Info window which will re-initialize some track properties such as Plays and Skips. This script allows the user to choose which of several additional Music.app tags to reset to initialized states, which can be selectively more or less thorough than the Music.app's Reset action. Also see the slightly more aggressive Reset Plays.
iCloud library users should note Apple's "Bug-or-Feature" whereby changes to these tags don't always proliferate correctly if at all.
