AppleScript Applet for Music

Playlist XML Librarian v2.0

This application will list the exported Playlist XML files collected in a specified folder with options to view, edit and send (import) them to the Music app. Makes it easy to maintain an organized stockpile of exported Playlist XMLs to reduce the number of onboard Music playlists.

Also see Playlist XML Viewer which can display and play a single selected local Playlist XML file drag-and-dropped or chosen.

Action shot:

Playlist XML Librarian in action

I exported a ton of playlists I made for a weekly radio show which I can re-load anytime—as complete playlists or track selections from one—with Playlist XML Librarian. Shown is a saved Apple Music playlist which can be imported to Music later.
