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. (That is, if you select an iPod track, the library track's bookmark is reset and can be played; if you select a library track, the iPod track's bookmark is reset and can be played.)
This script works best when you have iPod options set to "Manually manage songs and playlists".

Not In Any Playlist v1.5
This AppleScript will create a text file that will list the iTunes Library tracks which have not been assigned to any playlist. You can choose to consider or ignore Smart Playlists (in the event you feel "Live Updating" disqualifies SP tracks from being considered). The text file can be viewed in TextEdit or any text editor/word processor.
Also see Not In Any iPod Playlist and Not In Any Playlist To Playlist.

Corral iTunes Dupes v1.0
(For much faster and more robust handling of track duplicates, you will probably prefer Dupin.)
This script will check your iTunes library for all instances of tracks which have the same user-selected criteria (name, album, artist, size, and so on) then assemble the duplicate tracks into a discrete "Dupes" playlist. Once corralled, you can decide which can stay or go.

Corral All Dupes v2.0.1
(For much faster and more robust handling of track duplicates, try Dupin.)
Script applet traverses your iTunes or iPod library searching for tracks with the same Song Name and Size and copies them to a "Dupes" playlist. Once corralled, you can decide which can stay and which can go. Read Me explains more.
Note: this script will take a very long time to run. Prohibitively so for some tastes.

Tags to Get Info Comments (and Back)
Two scripts to store, and then later retrieve, tags to a track's file's "Get Info" comments. Optionally, you can also store the Playlist names the track appears in, and later restore the track to those playlists which will be recreated if necessary. Supports MP3, AAC, AIFF, and WAV track/files.
