List tracks not assigned to playlists

AppleScript Applet for Music

Universal, for macOS 11 and later only. This applet will scan the Music app for tracks that are not assigned to any user-created playlists and display them. Once assembed, selected tracks in the list can be assigned to a user-chosen playlist or exported as a text file.

If you like it you can purchase a code for $2.99 which will unlock the 10 track restriction. Launch the app and click "Register..." in the its File menu to make an in-app purchase through PayPal.
