Thank you turingtest2 for your scripts!

I just wanted to thank you Turingtest2 for the script and support you provide on this forum. I belong to this silent group of people who just read a lot of posts but dont post much. Thanks to your scripts, I was able to load my play counts and added date from the different tools I used in the past (google play music, old iTunes metadata,....) which I had kept. Using chatgpt I then created a script to match each tracks from all this information to my existing itunes library and then imported everything back into iTunes. So thank you Turingtest2!

Music (née iTunes) importing nightmare "Album is a compilation of songs" I appreciate that many people have different ideas as to how they want the import process (from CD in my case) to deal with the tracks. What I have failed to do is to persuade this infernal app to treat the CD as an album (which it is, by definition) once imported. I am specifically excluding from this question the pure compilation albums like say Christmas Songs by various artists. My concern is where Artist-A has produced an album called "Trax" and on it there a few/couple of tracks on which another artist(s) is featured. Import's CD Info has Artist: Artist-A Album: Trax which is a fair representation. Imho. By example: Track 2 on Album Trax is called "Love You" by Artist-A with input from Artist-C whose name also appears under Artist in the track listing. What I want to have happen is for the track to be stored under Artist-A > Trax > along with all the other tracks on the album. What Music does is to swerve this option at all costs and it's annoying me. Tick "compilations" and the entire album gets put into: Compilations > Trax Leave it unticked and I end up with : Artist-A > Trax > all tracks with no other featured artists Artist-B > Trax > just the one track Artist-C > Trax > another single track, or two. Nor is acceptable to have the album shoved under Various Artists... it's not. It's all by Artist-A and there happen to be a couple of mates ( B and C) who contributed to a couple of tracks. iTunes/Music has long been (in my opinion) a user-hostile app. It has improved a little over the years but I still find it clunky. I'm hoping somebody can put me out of my misery please. Thank you.
