Download hundreds (611 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: Coverscope v2.4
For macOS 11 and later only. This applet will show both the assigned track artwork and the local file's metadata artwork (if any exists) for the selected track.

Additional tools can Embed or Apply artwork between track and file.
Latest version:
- Additional accommodations for macOS 12 Monterey
- Minor UI and performance updates
More information for Coverscope v2.4 and download link is here.

UPDATED: Sort by Artwork Size v3.0
For macOS 11 Catalina and later only.

UPDATED: Artwork as Album Folder Icon v3.0
For macOS 11 and later only. This script can be used two ways:
When run as an Applet, it will use the assigned artwork from the selected tracks as the icon for the folder containing each track's corresponding file in the Finder--presumably, this is the file's "Album" folder.
When launched as a Droplet--by dragging one or more folders to its icon--it will examine every folder (at all depths) for the first audio file in any folder that contains image metadata and use that image as the icon for that folder.
