Track Down Purchases v6.0

This applet can examine the Music library and sort tracks purchased from the iTunes Store into discrete playlists by either the purchaser's name or Apple ID (eg: "Purchased by Jane Smith" or "Purchased by janesmith@email.com") which in turn will be placed in a "Purchaser Playlists" playlist folder.

Free to try in Demo Mode: While in Demo Mode, the number of tracks associated with each Purchaser will be reported but sorting tracks into playlists is disabled. An in-app purchase of a registration code will enable playlist creation.

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 $3.99. When your payment is processed, you will receive a registration code that will unlock the Demo Mode restriction.

Action shot:

People come and go. And leave their purchases on YOUR computer.

No Lyrics to Playlist v3.3

This applet will scan the Music library or a selected playlist for tracks whose "Custom Lyrics" tags are blank and copy them to a new discrete playlist. Can also toggle to search only for tracks with lyrics.

(Please Note: The script can only discover tracks with "Custom Lyrics" provided by the user. There is no accounting for lyrics made available via Apple Music or Cloud/Sync Library. That data is inaccessible.)

Free to use in Demo Mode. While in Demo Mode, only up to 10 tracks will be discovered and copied to the "No Lyrics" playlist per launch. If you like, you can purchase a code for $3.99 which will remove the Demo Mode restrictions. Launch the app and click "Register..." in the its File menu to make an in-app purchase.

The window can be horizontally resized and positioned anywhere on-screen.

Find Empty Media Folders v4.0

Additionally, a different parent folder can be user-selected and its contents will be compared to the current library. Includes options to Filter within results, Move a selection of found files to a user-chosen folder, Search for related tracks in Music app, Add (or drag-and-drop) a selection of found files to Music, move them to the Trash and Export a text file listing the file paths.

Merge-Delete Playlists v7.6

This applet will allow you to merge the track contents of two or more playlists to a new or existing playlist 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 playlists; tracks, of course, remain in the library.

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

Action shot:

The selected playlists can be merged to a single new playlist or deleted from Music at once.

File Renamer v5.4

This applet will rename the files of the selected tracks (or the files of the tracks in the selected playlist) using a substitution pattern that you formulate from the tracks' tag data. Optionally, export a copy of the files to a chosen location and rename the files in that location.

Works optimally for "in place" option with Music app's "Keep Media folder organized" un-checked.

This app is free to try in Demo Mode. In Demo Mode only up to 5 tracks can be processed per launch. You can purchase a code for $3.99 which will remove the 5-track Demo Mode restriction. Launch the app and click "Register..." in the its File menu to make an in-app purchase.

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.

Delete Lyrics v3.3

This script will delete the "Custom Lyrics"—i.e., lyrics text entered by the user—from the selected tracks. Assign it a keyboard shortcut.

Does not affect Lyrics provided by Apple Music; this data is inaccessible.

Also see Selected Tags to Lyrics.

Action shot:

Script will stay open after each delete operation so that additional track batches can be operated on.
