Save Album Art to Album Folder v7.0 (for Music)

By support@dougscripts.com on Jul 05, 2021 03:00 am
For macOS 11 and later only. This script will export the artwork of the selected tracks (or the tracks in a selected playlist) as an image file to the folder which contains each selected track's file--presumably each track's Album folder--or to a single user-selected folder. If multiple album tracks are selected, the script will make sure only one artwork file per Album is exported.

Also see Save Album Art as folder.jpg.

This app is free to try full-featured in Demo Mode. In Demo Mode it will only process 5 image files per launch. If you like it you can purchase a code for $1.99 which will unlock the 5-image restriction. Launch the app and click "Register..." in its File menu to make an in-app purchase.


The image output settings will be saved between uses.

    Latest version:
  • Fixed regression issue with custom scale setting
  • Initial accommodation for macOS 12 Monterey

Multi-Item Edit v7.5 (for Music/TV)

By support@dougscripts.com on Jul 04, 2021 03:00 am
For macOS 11 and later only. This applet will allow you to view and edit most tags (and some additional options) of the selected track(s) in a single floating window using single-edit mode (one selected track) or multi-edit mode, which emulates the pre-iTunes 12 "multiple items" format; that is, a checkbox adjacent to each tag allows you to select which changes are to be applied to the selection's tags.

Can also be used to copy collected tags from one set of tracks to another set of tracks by toggling "Information Tracking".

This app is free to try in Demo Mode. In Demo Mode all features are available but only up to 20 tracks can be processed per launch. You can purchase a code for $1.99 which will remove the 20-track Demo Mode restriction. Launch the app and click "Register…" in the its File menu to make an in-app purchase.


Access most tags of a selection of tracks in a single window. (Sorting tags are accessible via a second togglable panel.)

  • Various UI, performance and security enhancements

Copy your single choice of filename, file path (location), file's parent folder path, file creation date (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS), current playlist, volume adjustment, start/stop time (HH:MM.SS), rating stars as text, artwork size (WxH), purchaser name, purchaser account ID or encoder (if accessible) to choice of Category, Comments or Description tag of each selected track. By putting data in one of these available tags it can be visible and sortable or used with Smart Playlist criteria.

I've kept the word "Comments" in the title of this script for legacy purposes, even though modern versions of it can write to other tags.


Choose the information to use from the top popup and then choose the tag of the selected tracks to copy it to.

    Latest version:
