Super Remove Dead Tracks v2.1 
Surveys iTunes for tracks whose files are no longer available (as indicated by a "!" next to their names) and removes them. Any playlists that subsequently contain no tracks will then be deleted. Progress is displayed every 500 tracks.
An earlier version of this script is included in the O'Reilly book iPod & iTunes HACKS.

Artist - Album - Disc from Selected Track
This script will create a new playlist using tracks which have the same artist, album, and disc number of the single selected track, with the intention of burning the new playlist to CD. Tracks will be copied to the new playlist in track number order. The playlist will be named "Artist - Album - [Disc n]. Track and disc numbers and counts must be available for accurate playlist creation. Once the playlist is created, it is automatically selected so that CD burning may commence immediately without having to order tracks or set the Play Order; the playlist could be manually deleted after CD burning, if desired. (Note that there is no guarantee that the playlist created is appropriately "CD-sized".)

Transfer Bookmark and Play v2.0
Transfers the bookmark point of a single selected iPod track to its corresponding iTunes track, or visa versa, with the option to play it.
