Tracks Without Embedded Artwork v1.1

August 6, 2015, 12:00 am
$
0
0
Tracks Without Embedded Artwork v1.1 - OS X 10.8 or later. MP3, AAC and ALAC audio files have the capability to store artwork image data internally as metadata, thus allowing artwork to "travel" with a file. This applet will examine the files of the selected tracks (or tracks in the selected playlist) for artwork metadata. Eligible audio tracks whose files do not contain artwork metadata will be copied to a new discrete playlist.

iTunes-assigned artwork may not necessarily be embedded as metadata. This applet does not affect how the Finder may or may not display a file's icon image.

To embed artwork to tracks' files try Re-Embed Artwork or Re-Apply Downsized Artwork.

    Latest version:
  • Preliminary support for OS X 10.11 (El Capitan)
  • Accommodates changes in iTunes 12.2

Track's Album to Playlist v3.0 - OS X 10.9 or later only. This script gathers the tracks in the Music library with the same Artist, Album, and Disc Number of the currently playing track (or, if no track is playing, the selected track) and copies them in track number order to a new Playlist named "Artist - Album". Accurate track-tagging is a must.

This works great when assigned a shortcut.

Tracks played/selected in the "For You" or "New" panes of Apple Music are inaccessible.

    Latest version:
  • Saved as a script bundle for faster execution from the Script menu
  • OS X 10.9 or later only

Assimilate View Options v4.0 - OS X 10.10 and later, iTunes 12.2 and later only. This script re-creates a single selected playlist so its Songs View column settings (visible columns) are the same as the main Music library (taking advantage of the fact that new playlists acquire the Music library's visible sort columns).

Works with user-created regular playlists and Smart playlists only.

Track Down Purchases v3.3 - OS X 10.8 or later. This applet can examine the iTunes library and sort audio and video tracks purchased from iTunes 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.

Tracks must have corresponding local files since purchaser information is stored as metadata. iTunes Match tracks in the cloud and "dead" tracks will be ignored.

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 $1.99. When your payment is processed, you will be emailed a registration code that will unlock the Demo Mode restriction.

    Latest version:
  • Fixes issue reading Apple ID metadata on OS X 10.8 systems

Show In Playlists v1.3 - OS X 10.9 and later. This stay-open applet monitors iTunes and detects when library tracks have been selected and then displays a heirarchical list of the playlists containing the selected track(s) (emulating iTunes'"Show In Playlist"). Can also be set to monitor only playing tracks. Clicking a playlist in the list chooses it in iTunes--and if a single track had been selected then it will be selected in the chosen playlist. Additionally, the monitoring routine can be toggled off temporarily so that the current list of playlists remains fixed yet still selectable.

Flush Apple Music Cache Files v1.0 - OS X 10.8 and later. Apple Music stores the audio files it plays in ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.iTunes/SubscriptionPlayCache/. This script will simply delete that folder.

The files in this folder are specially protected audio files that are downloaded and cached when you play a track from Apple Music on your Mac. They can't be user-played and are only useful to Apple Music, ostensibly so iTunes doesn't have to re-download them if they are played again. (This cache folder doesn't pertain to Radio music. Or to Apple Music you've added to your library for offline listening, the files of which are stored in your "ITunes Media" folder.)

    Track CPR v2.3 - OS X 10.8 or later. This script will assist with associating replacement files with a batch of dead tracks. iTunes can perform this task, too, but only one track at a time.

    The script will attempt to locate existing files (recursively) in a user-selected folder that have the exact same filenames and extensions as the missing files of a selection of dead tracks. Then, you can determine if the found files are viable replacements for the missing files and the script will perform the replacement. Replacement files remain in their current location and will not be copied/moved to the iTunes Media folder.

    This can be a delicate operation. In addition to the must-read documentation included with the script, I also suggest you read what I've written about using this script here.

      Latest version:
    • Fixes text encoding issue
    • Ignores app tracks/files (iTunes 12.2 and later)

    Copy From Start to Stop v2.2

    Copy From Start to Stop v2.2 - Makes a copy of the selected track using its Start and Stop times as the beginning and ending of the new file and adds to Library, with option to name new track/file. If using with file tracks, NOTE: you may experience some degradation of audio quality if you re-encode a file (one which has already been encoded), and thus the quality of your copy may be a matter of taste. Mileage will vary.

    iTunes will honor the Start and Stop times of a file track when using its "Make a kind Version" conversion feature, but doesn't give you the option to rename the new track or copy it to the current playlist.

    Works as a fine companion to the script Player Position to Start or Stop, which sets the Start or Stop time of the currently loaded track to the time of the paused player position.

      Latest version:
    • Maintenance release
    • Adds option to copy converted track to current playlist (non-library/non-CD)
