Droplet adds files, creates playlists based on folder name(s)

AppleScript Applet for Music

For macOS 11 and later. Drag-and-drop one or more folders containing audio files on this droplet (or double-click it to select folders via an Open dialog); it will recursively add each file to Music app then distribute the tracks to playlists created on-the-fly and named using your choice of:

  • the name of a dropped folder
  • the name of each file's parent folder
  • the folder hierarchy containing the file
  • the track's "Album - Artist" tags (if available from metadata)

If dropped files already exist as track entries in the Music library they will still be copied to the playlists. The same track will not be added to a playlist more than once.

Action shot:

Options are displayed after dropping a small batch of folders on the droplet.
