Manage a folder of exported Playlist XML files

AppleScript Applet for Music

This applet will list the exported Playlist XML files collected in a specified folder with options to view, edit, search and send (import) them to the Music app. Makes it easy to maintain an organized stockpile of exported Playlist XMLs to reduce the number of onboard Music playlists.

Also see Playlist XML Viewer which can display and play a single selected local Playlist XML file drag-and-dropped or chosen.

Action shot:

Playlist XML Librarian in action

I exported a ton of playlists I made for a weekly radio show which I can re-load anytime—as complete playlists or track selections from one—with Playlist XML Librarian. Shown is an Apple Music playlist which can be saved and loaded to Music later.
