I have several Apple Music scripts purchased from Doug Adams. After upgrading to 10.15 they no longer work. I just downloaded a new version and put it into my script file but it does no show up in the tunes menu. The particular script that I want to run is to find and remove dead tracks.
the scrip is supposed to show up in musics script menu but is doesn't
Am I Doing something incorrectly?
Is there another way to accomplish this?
Thanks
iMac 27", macOS 10.12
Have you tried restarting Music app.
Another thing: you claim that the folder has about 10 scripts that were available before upgrading Catalina. That's impossible. Perhaps you're confusing the two apps: iTunes and Music.
I mean, the old scripts for iTunes were located in iTunes/Scripts inside your Library. New scripts for Music have to be located in Music/Scripts inside your Library. It's a different path.
Before Catalina there was no Music/Scripts folders (because Music app didn't exist) and Music app now ignores what is in iTunes/Scripts folder because it requires Music/Scripts path.
Sorry if I sound naive.

Yes I have read it but I assumed that he had re written some of them. My Mistake.
Is there another way to accomplish getting rid of the tunes that no longer exist.
I tried to use the scrip called remove dead track
That is what I thought when I downloaded it this morning. I already had the old version. But I followed the instructions and put the script in the scrip file exactly as directions say to do it but Thai I Go back to tunes and there is no place there to run it.
Are you saying that you can't see the Scripts menu in Music app after adding them in the proper folder?
I just tried to create the Music/Scripts folders in my Library, copied a test script and the Scripts menu appeared immediately in Music.
That is correct I can't see a Script menu item in Music. I did run the script from my desktop and that worked out OK
My script file is in the right place and has about 10 scripts that were available as a menu item before upgrading to Catalina
Thanks for the information the scrips ewer in the wrong place. I keep getting into trouble because Apple keeps changing the name of their programs. I have been using a Mac for at least 30 years and First it is itunes then it is music and next upgrade it will be some other name
I will try to be more careful of the program that I am using. I will probably be gong to my grave still using the name iTunes
Super Remove Dead Tracks v5.1 is declared compatible with Catalina and thus Music app:

Are you sure to have created the ~/Library/Music/Scripts folders?
Yes the folder is in place with several of the scripts that don't work anymore nut they did a couple of weeks back
Glad to know you solved it.
