Create a playlist of random Artists and set number of random songs back-to-back

AppleScript Applet for Music

For macOS 11 and later only. Create a "Block Party!" playlist containing random Artists and a specific number of their randomly selected songs arranged in a row ("two-fers", "three-fers", and so on). You can restrict the size of the "Block Party!" playlist by Number of Artists or Duration in hours. Additionally, you can choose to use a particular Playlist as the source of tracks and include/exclude specific Genres.

You will likely prefer the stand-alone Block Party Weekend, a fully-featured donationware player (macOS 26 and later only).

This app is free to try full-featured in Demo Mode, with the exception that only a single hour-long playlist will be created per launch. You can purchase a code for $1.99 which will remove this restriction. Launch the app and click "Register..." in the its File menu to make an in-app purchase.

Watch the video demo below.
