Reset Tracks v1.3

The Music.app has a "Reset" button in the Details panel of each track's Show Info window which will re-initialize some track properties such as Plays and Skips. This applet allows the user to choose which of several additional Music.app tags to reset to initialized states, which can be selectively more or less thorough than the Music.app's Reset action.

Also see Reset Plays.

Sync library users should note Apple's "Bug-or-Feature" whereby changes to these tags don't always proliferate correctly, if at all.

Action shot:

You may or may not want to initialize some of the more esoteric track settings.

Save Album Art as folder.jpg v6.0

This script 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 may look for a "folder.jpg" here (or "cover.jpg" "album.jpg", "artwork.jpg", etc) to use as display artwork. If multiple album tracks are selected, the script will make sure only one image file per Album is exported.

Also see Restore Artwork from Album Folder and Save Album Art to Album Folder.

This app is free to try full-featured in Demo Mode. In Demo Mode it will only process 3 image files per launch. Additionally, each image will be rendered in reverse (flipped horizontal). If you like it you can purchase a code for $3.99 which will remove the Demo Mode hindrances. Launch the app and click "Register..." in its File menu to make an in-app purchase.

Action shot:

Save Album Art as folder.jpg in action

The main settings for the script. My understanding is that other common filenames include "cover.jpg" and "album.jpg".
