Download hundreds (621 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: Track Down Purchases v5.2
This applet can examine the Music library and sort audio tracks purchased from iTunes into discrete playlists by either the purchaser's name or Apple ID (eg: "Purchased by Jane Smith" or "Purchased by janesmith@email.com") which in turn will be placed in a "Purchaser Playlists" playlist folder.
Free to try in Demo Mode: While in Demo Mode, the number of tracks associated with each Purchaser will be reported but sorting tracks into playlists is disabled. An in-app purchase of a registration code will enable playlist creation.
Latest version:

- Accommodations for macOS 13 Ventura
More information for Track Down Purchases v5.2 and download link is here.
UPDATED: Skip Back or Ahead v4.2
Floating panel allows you to skip backward or forward in the currently playing track by a user-entered number of seconds (0-120). Useful for 'scoping through tracks, making transcriptions, and so on.

- Maintenance and minor performance fixes

UPDATED: Proper English Title Capitalization v5.2
Capitalizes the first letter of each word in your choice of the Title, 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.

UPDATED: Coverscope v2.6

Free to use in Demo Mode: While in Demo Mode, these functions will be enabled to use in any combination up to five times per launch:
- Embed Track Artwork (to the file)
- Apply Metadata Artwork (to the track entry)
- Paste or Drag an image file to Apply and Embed

Move the LAST word of the tag to the beginning, eg:
OR Move the FIRST word of the tag to the end, eg:
Then, the newly configured text can be copied back to your choice of Artist, Album Artist, Composer, Sort Artist, Sort Album Artist and/or Sort Composer tag(s).

NEW: Remove Duplicate Tracks from Playlist v2.0
Tracks may have been dragged/added/copied to a user playlist two or more times and now each of them appears multiple times in the playlist. This script will remove all but one of these kind of duplicate tracks from a selected playlist. (This does not have anything to do with duplicate media files that each have an individual track entry in the Music library.)
Latest version:
- Initial re-release as a script for the Music app

UPDATED: Not In Any Playlist v4.1

UPDATED: Needle Drop v7.6
