Drop A Few My Way v4.2

For macOS 10.10 and later only. Drag and drop audio files to this droplet to have iTunes convert them with an encoder selected on the fly, restoring iTunes' Preferences-set encoder afterwards. Converted files can be saved to either a single selected location or each source file's parent folder. The converted files/tracks are removed from iTunes, as though iTunes "never saw them".

Apps By Apple ID v1.0

This script will list the apps in the "Mobile Applications" folder by app name, file name, purchaser's Apple ID, size, version and last date modified. Additionally, a tab-delimited text file of this information can be exported or the apps copied and sorted into "Purchased by..." folders (iTunes 12.7 and later only, see the Read Me for other important information).

Action shot:

15 gigs and only 146 apps.

Trackographer v5.1

OS X 10.10 or later and iTunes 12.4 or later. This stay-open applet will monitor iTunes and send tag and time-of-play information of each track that plays (including iTunes Radio and internet radio streams if they provide track info) to a text file. Preferences can be set to include or not include various basic tags and to create a plain text file or a tab-delimited text file which can be imported into a spreadsheet.

Action shot:

"Trackographer" will monitor iTunes for playing tracks and log info about each played track to a text file, either as a plain text file (as in the sample above) or as a tab-delimited text file for importing to a spreadsheet.

Artist to Last-First v4.2

For macOS 10.10 and later only. This applet will parse the text of the chosen tag (Artist, Album Artist, Composer or one of their Sort siblings) of a selection of tracks:

Move the LAST word of the tag to the beginning, eg:

OR Move the FIRST word of the tag to the end, eg:

Then, the newly configured text can be copied back to your choice of Artist, Album Artist, Composer, Sort Artist, Sort Album Artist and/or Sort Composer tag(s).

Action shot:

Select some tracks and launch; choose the format (here, "Move last word to front of tag" is chosen); then choose which tags get the edited text.

Quick Convert v4.6

For macOS 10.10 and later. Convert all or just the selected tracks of the selected Playlist using your choice of available iTunes encoders, restoring your Preferences-set encoder afterwards. Works with importing selected CD tracks, too.

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 and re-add the converted files to the Audiobooks library

Action shot:

Convert the selected tracks using the AAC encoder, for example. Your default encoder is restored afterwards.

Make Playlists By Tag v2.5

For macOS 10.10 and later. This applet will create new Music track playlists based on each selected entry of a specified tag. That is, create individual playlists for each Artist, Album Artist, Album, Composer (or their "Sort" siblings), Genre, or Year.

A good companion to this applet is Merge-Delete Playlists.

Action shot:

A new playlist will be created for each checkmarked entry and will contain Music tracks--in this case--whose artist tag is the same as the entry. The red-colored entries are already playlists.

Delete Empty Playlists v3.1

This script will list all empty user-created playlists and can delete all or just a selection of them.

Also see Merge-Delete Playlists.

Action shot:

When one or more playlists are selected, the button changes to "Delete Selected".

Restore Artwork from Album Folder v3.4

For macOS 10.10 and later. This script will look for an image file in the parent folder of each selected track's file--presumably its Album folder in which you have previously placed an image file of some sort--and apply the data from that image file as artwork for the track.

Batch Export Playlists v2.3

For macOS 10.10 and later only. iTunes can only export a single playlist at a time (File > Library > Export Playlist...). This applet will export each selected plain, Smart, and Genius playlist as individual XML or M3U files to a user selected directory. Such files can be imported into iTunes again later or into other devices or apps. Not as fast as iTunes' own "Export Playlist..." command, but it does the job without the repetition required.

Action shot:

Select some playlists, choose the file type, and click on "Export".

Increment Number Tags v2.7

For macOS 10.10 and later only. This script will incrementally number your choice of the Track Number, Episode Number, Episode ID tags, and track Name prefix of the selected tracks. Additionally, a Track Count can be applied to each track, Episode ID can be configured with additional text incorporating the number, and zero-padding up to five digits can be applied. (The selected tracks must be sorted by ascending Play Order for accurate results.)

Action shot:

Apply incremented numbers to the appropriately sorted track selection.
