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: Increment Number Tags v3.5
For macOS 11 and later only. This script will incrementally number your choice of the Track Number, Movement Number, Episode Number, Episode ID tags, and track Name prefix of the selected tracks. Additionally, a Track Count, Disc Number/Count and/or Movement Count can be applied to each track, Episode ID can be configured with additional text incorporating the number, and zero-padding up to five digits can be applied.
Latest version:

UPDATED: Super Remove Dead Tracks v5.7
For macOS 11 and later only. Scans the Music or TV app for tracks whose files are inaccessible or no longer available (so-called "dead" tracks). Outputs a tab-delimited text log listing the tracks by Artist, Name, Album and last known file location. The registered version will delete the tracks.
Also see List MIAs and Media Folder Files Not Added.
Latest version:
- Additional accommodations for macOS 11.3

Latest version:
- Accommodations for macOS 11.3
More information for Find Empty Media Folders v2.5 and download link is here.
UPDATED: Delete Empty Playlists v4.5

UPDATED: Make Tags All Caps v2.3
For macOS 11 and later only. This script will change the text in your choice of the Title, Artist/Director, Show, Album, Comments, Composer and/or Genre tags of the selected tracks in the Music or TV app to ALL CAPS.
"I got a request from a DJ'ing Correspondent who had been manually changing some of his tags to all caps so they'd be easier to read on the decks under dim dance floor lights. (Are they still called "decks"?)..." (more)
Latest version:
- Adds support for the TV app
- Additional accommodations for macOS 11.3
More information for Make Tags All Caps v2.3 and download link is here.
UPDATED: Refresh Smart Playlists v3.4
For macOS 11 and later only. This script will "batch-refresh" the selected user-created Smart Playlists by removing the tracks they contain (if possible*) which obliges them to dynamically re-populate, ostensibly with different tracks.
*Note that tracks cannot be removed from a Smart Playlist which already contains every track of the library meeting its criteria--it would just re-populate with the same tracks. Smart Playlists with the "Limit to" and "Live updating" criteria in use are more likely to be "refreshable".
Latest version:
- Prevents errant selection of Playlist Folders
- Additional accommodations for macOS 11.3
More information for Refresh Smart Playlists v3.4 and download link is here.
UPDATED: File Renamer v4.9
For macOS 11 and later only. This script will rename the files of the selected tracks (or the files of the tracks in the selected playlist) using a substitution pattern that you formulate from the tracks' tag data. Optionally, export a copy of the files to a chosen location and rename the files in that location.
Works optimally with "Keep Media folder organized" un-checked.
Latest version:
- New logic for previewing/processing
- Additional accommodations for macOS 11.3
More information for File Renamer v4.9 and download link is here.
UPDATED: Save Album Art to Album Folder v6.10
For macOS 11 and later only. This script will export the artwork of the selected tracks (or the tracks in a selected playlist) as an image file to the folder which contains each selected track's file--presumably each track's Album folder--or a single user-selected folder. If multiple album tracks are selected, the script will make sure only one artwork file per Album is exported.
Also see Save Album Art as folder.jpg.
