AppleScript Applet for Music
Make Playlists By Tag v4.2
Universal, for macOS 11 and later only. This applet will create new Music track playlists based on each selected entry of a specified tag. That is, create individual playlists for each Artist, Album Artist, Album, Composer (or their "Sort" siblings), Genre, or Year.
Action shot:

A new playlist will be created for each checkmarked entry and will contain Music tracks--in this case--whose album tag is the same as the entry.
