Make An EQ Preset Script will create a new AppleScript applet using data from a selected EQ preset. When that applet is run it will re-create the EQ preset you selected...in any iTunes (on a Mac, of course).
In the screenshot, the selected applet was created by the script, and the applet created the EQ setting:
This makes it easy to accurately share your EQ Presets with friends or make back-ups of your EQ Presets.

UPDATED: Random Full Albums to Playlist v1.2
If you're like me, you may occasionally prefer to listen to full albums back-to-back. Back in the day, this device assisted with doing that:
I haven't got one of those anymore (I got rid of the five-disc CD changer, too). But I've got this script that sorta works the same way. Without having to get up to flip the stack...or even pick the records.
Random Full Albums to Playlist v1.2 will assemble a user-set number of randomly selected full albums to a playlist. And by "full album", I mean a set of music tracks with the same album name, track count, and disc number, where the number of tracks from each album is equal to the common track count.
This latest version is a maintenance update and I added an option to run it again without re-launching if you don't like the selection. Of course, the whole point is that it's a random selection of albums, so you're kind of cheating by running it again like that.

A Word About El Capitan In Beta
As I pointed out last year when the first Yosemite beta was released:
I make no guarantees as to the reliablity of any software authored by me when operated under a pre-official-release beta version of the operating system.
10.11/El Capitan-compatible software will be clearly labeled as such if and when it is actually compatible. Otherwise, don't presume any script or app is compatible with El Capitan at all until the official release date in the Fall.
Script of the Day: Quick Convert
Quick Convert will convert all or just the selected tracks of the selected Playlist using your choice of available iTunes encoders, restoring your Preferences-set encoder afterwards.
Additionally, you can:
- Choose to delete and/or Trash the original tracks and/or files
- Copy all converted/imported tracks to a new playlist
- Optionally save AAC encoded tracks as M4B "bookmarkable" and re-add the converted files to the Audiobooks (Books) library

Script of the Day: Save Album Art as folder.jpg
Save Album Art as folder.jpg will export the artwork of the selected tracks or tracks in the selected playlist as a JPEG image file named folder.jpg to the folder which contains each selected track's file—presumably the track's Album folder.
Many third-party music players and systems (Sonos, for example) may look for a "folder.jpg" here to use as display artwork. If multiple album tracks are selected, the script will make sure only one image file per Album is exported.

Script of the Day: Search Results to Playlist
Search Results to Playlist will search a chosen category (Library, Music, Movies, etc) or the selected playlist for user-entered text by All, Song, Artist, Album, or Composer tag and copy the track results to a Search Results playlist, which will be created automatically if necessary.
It can optionally re-create or append to the Search Results playlist on each run. Conveniently floats over iTunes while active for easy access.

Script of the Day: New Last Played Date

Script of the Day: Merge-Delete Playlists
Merge-Delete Playlists will allow you to merge the track contents of two or more playlists or delete any number of playlists at once, including Smart, Genius, and Playlist Folder playlists.
The merge feature will prevent the same tracks that may appear in different source playlists from being duplicated and has an option to delete original playlists. The delete feature only deletes the playlist; tracks, of course, remain in the library.

Script of the Day: Lyrics to TextEdit
Lyrics to TextEdit copies the text from the lyrics tag of the currently playing track--or if no track is playing, the selected track(s)--to a new TextEdit document. If a track's lyrics tag is blank then it will be skipped.

Script of the Day: Convert and Export
Convert and Export will convert the files of the selected tracks in iTunes using an encoder of your choice on-the-fly (restoring your Preferences-set encoder afterwards). The newly converted files are then moved to a new location of your choice, and their tracks removed from iTunes.
