Locates sets of track entries pointing to the same file

AppleScript Applet for Music

Universal, for macOS 11 and later only. This applet will scan your Music library for pairs of track entries that--very strangely--point to the same file and then copy those tracks to a discrete playlist for further examination; presumably you'll want to remove one of the faux pair tracks without Trashing the single associated file.

More about this issue is here.

Action shot:

Scan For Double Entries in action

Progress during the scan. When two or more tracks are discovered to have the same location property, as is the case with this file, the tracks will be copied to a results playlist.
