Sub-divide a playlist into smaller variably-lengthed playlists

AppleScript Applet for Music/TV

Universal, for macOS 11 and later only. This script can create one or more new, smaller playlists from sub-divided batches of tracks in the selected playlist whereby each selected track will be interpreted as the last track delineator of each new playlist. A title for each new playlist can be user-entered, and resulting playlists can be moved collectively to a new discrete Playlist Folder.

Also see Divvy Up A Playlist and Merge-Delete Playlists.

Action shot:

Slice Up A Playlist in action

This is a simplified example for illustration purposes. The script interprets each selected track in the selected playlist in the Music app as the last track of a new playlist. The script is showing the delineated playlists and their track contents before actually creating any of them, initiated by clicking the "Make" button when one or more are selected.
