Re-locate files of selected tracks to new folder, preserve track meta-data

AppleScript Applet for Music/TV

Universal, for macOS 11 and later only. This script will re-locate the files of the selected tracks from their current location to a single user-chosen folder. The Music app (or TV app) will be updated with each track's new location and all of each track's meta-data will be preserved. Optionally leave a copy of each file in its original location (albeit disassociated from any Music or TV app tracks).

NOTE: If your "Keep Media folder organized" preference is set, you will not be able to create new folders or re-locate files within the Media folder; outside of it is OK.
