Playlist Manager v1.1 can perform common useful tasks on a multiple selection of playlists: rename (add text, remove text, search and replace text), toggle repeat and shuffle, duplicate, delete, export, merge.
This latest version fixes a problem with renaming playlists that are contained in Playlist Folders and now allows "blank" to be used as the replace text in the Search and Replace tool.
NEW: Playlist Manager
I create, reuse, and recycle playlists frequently and my playlists rarely remain static. A hindrance in my playlist management is the inability to select more than one playlist at a time to, say, delete or rename them. Well, I got around to fixing that with Playlist Manager.
This applet can perform common useful tasks on a multiple selection of playlists: rename (add text, remove text, search and replace text), toggle repeat and shuffle, duplicate, delete, export, merge.
UPDATED: Remove n Characters From Front or Back v4.6
Remove n Characters From Front or Back lets you delete a specified number of characters from either the beginning or the ending of the Song Name, Album, Artist, Comments, Composer or Show tag (or their "Sort" siblings) of each selected track. For example, delete the initial digits and the space from "01 First Track", "02 Second Track", and so on.
This updated version caps the maximum number of characters to the length of the shortest text in the selected tags, preventing inadvertent deletion of tag text that may be shorter than the user-set number of characters to remove.

Features case sensitivity and whole word match options and dry run preview.
The latest version sports conventional search fields and has some minor code tweaks.

Drop to Add and Make Playlists v2.2 will accept a single dropped folder containing media files and will add each file to iTunes and then distribute the tracks to playlists named using your choice of the tracks' "Artist - Album" tags or the name(s) of the folder(s) containing the file.

AppleScript Save Changes in Mountain Lion
I've been meaning to post this for the record. Shane Stanley has written up How Mountain Lion Changes the Rules for AppleScript at TidBITS. He explains how scripts and AppleScript applications can be saved in an uncompiled state. If you distribute or system manage AppleScripts and develop on Mountain Lion you really should be aware of these changes.
