Perform tasks on a batch of playlists; rename, delete, duplicate, merge, more

AppleScript Applet for Music

Universal, for macOS 11 and later only. The Music app only allows one playlist to be selected at a time. This applet can perform common useful tasks on a multiple selection of playlists: playlist title renaming (add text, remove text, search and replace text, text transforms), change View, duplicate, delete, export, move to Playlist Folder, merge playlists and remove track copies.

This app is free to try full-featured in Demo Mode. While in Demo Mode, only up to 10 playlists can be manipulated per launch. If you like it you can purchase a code for $2.99 which will unlock the Demo Mode limitation. Launch the app and click "Register..." in its File menu to make an in-app purchase.

Action shot:
