New Last Played Date v6.3

Set Last Played/Last Skipped date of selected tracks to a new date, with option to increase or decrease Plays/Skips, or set to "never played" with no dates and no Plays/Skips.

Also see Add or Subtract Play Count.

Works best when Sync Library is disengaged due to a possible bug.

Action shot:

Like so. The Last Played date of the 23 selected tracks will be set to June 10, 2026 at 2:00PM and the Plays will be decreased by 10. The latter is an option that can be toggled on and off with the checkbox.

Album Rating Reset v5.6

This script will allow you to batch set or clear the Album Rating and/or Album Favorite/Suggest Less for the albums of the selected tracks or the albums associated with the tracks in a selected playlist (note that only a single track from any album need be selected in order to change the album rating or favorited of the entire album). Handy for clearing batches of albums of their user-set album ratings, or re-rating batches of albums.

Action shot:

Be sure to select at least one track of each album for which you want to change the Album Rating.

Restore Artwork from Album Folder v5.0

This applet will look for an image file in the parent folder of each selected track's file--presumably its Album folder into which you have previously placed an image file of some sort--and apply the data from that image file as artwork for the track.

Also see Save Album Art to Album Folder and Save Album Art as folder.jpg which assist with exporting album artwork as image files.

Assimilate View Options v6.4

This applet re-creates each selected playlist so its Songs View column settings (visible columns) are the same as the main "Songs" library.

Works with user-created regular playlists only. Please read the accompanying Read Me doc.

Action shot:

I wouldn't select a whole lot of playlists since I'm not really sure how Music will behave. Start with small batches and then see how life's treating you.

Re-Embed Artwork v4.0

This applet will export then re-import the artwork data of the selected tracks obliging the Music app to embed the artwork in the track's file's meta-data.

For best results, use with an album's worth of tracks--or so--at a time. Music may be obliged to perform a number of background tasks when applying image data and may prevent the script from proceeding if a large amount of data is involved.

Apply Embedded Artwork v3.0

This script will examine each selected track's local file for image metadata and apply it as the track's album artwork.

Doug's Check For All Updates v2.0

This applet will survey your computer for AppleScripts downloaded from dougscripts.com and create a report, locally stored and viewable in your web browser, listing the scripts for which updates are available.

Note: previous versions of this script will cease to work on January 1, 2027.

Copy Tag Info Tracks to Tracks v6.9

This applet will copy specific tag data from one set of selected tracks to a second set of selected tracks. You can copy any combination of Checkmark, Song Title, Artist, Album Artist, Album, Genre, Year, Disc and Track, Composer, Grouping, Work, Movement, BPM, Comments, Lyrics, Rating, Favorite/Suggest Less, Plays/Skips, Artwork and Compilation.

Use with thoughtfulness. Both sets of selected tracks should be sorted by Play Order/Playlist Order (or at the very least using the same sorting) so the tag info is copied in the correct order from and to the intended tracks.

Only tracks in the local Media library are accessible. Tracks in the Apple Music interface are inaccessible.

Action shot:

Copy the chosen tags from a set of Source tracks to a second set of Target tracks.

Playlist Manager v5.1

The Music app only allows one playlist to be selected at a time. This applet can perform common useful tasks on a multiple selection of playlists: playlist title renaming (add text, remove text, search and replace text, text transforms), change View, duplicate, delete, export, move to Playlist Folder, merge playlists and remove track copies.

This app is free to try full-featured in Demo Mode. While in Demo Mode, only up to 5 playlists can be manipulated per launch. If you like it you can purchase a code for $2.99 which will unlock the Demo Mode limitation. Launch the app and click "Register..." in its File menu to make an in-app purchase.

Action shot:

Tools in the Manipulate tab operate on the selected playlists.

Compare Two Playlists v5.3

Quickly compares the contents of any two playlists and displays the tracks that are common to both or the tracks in one playlist not contained by the other. Has tools to copy or move tracks from one playlist to another or delete common tracks from one or the other playlist.

Free to try in Demo Mode: While in Demo Mode, several features will be disabled. An in-app purchase of a registration code will unlock the disabled features.

To purchase a registration code, download and launch the app. Click "Register..." in its File menu and follow the prompts to purchase a code for $2.99. When your payment is processed, you will receive a registration code that will unlock the Demo Mode restrictions.

Action shot:

Detect and display tracks common to or exclusive to the selected playlists.
