Finds album tracks that are a few short or over an Album

AppleScript Applet for Music

Universal, for macOS 11 and later only. This script uses track information to calculate whether a particular batch of tracks with the same Album title represent an incomplete or over-complete album, with either too few or too many requisite album tracks. Also, albums with missing Track and Disc information will be considered "amiss". Such batches will be copied to a discrete results playlist where they can be examined. The entire Music library or a selected Smart playlist can be scanned. (To be clear: the script does not check some kind of online database; it uses the extant local track entry information. Thus, tag accuracy is essential.)

Also see Albumizer which supplies track and disc numbers to selected tracks in their current play order and other album-centric tags.

Albums Amiss in action

Some of my results were, as far as *my* library goes, not actually amiss because of intentially partial albums or esoteric indexing schemes and such. But many of the results were--surprisingly--amiss. Particularly with regards to missing track and disc numbers.
