My macOS iTunes music library includes over 21,000 songs. Some of those tracks contain the wrong information. Wrong title, wrong album, wrong artist, wrong year.

beets and AppleScript helped me fix my incorrect track information.

I have ignored my MacBook Pro for a few months. Now my iTunes and Rhythmbox music libraries are out of sync. The Rhythmbox library includes a handful of Ogg Vorbis files. Because iTunes does not support Ogg by default, I will use FFmpeg to convert those files to MP3. For the sake of novelty, Perl 6 is the glue language for the task.

I nearly wrote a script that transfers my iTunes ratings to Rhythmbox. Instead I used Edgar Salgado’s version of iTunesToRhythm.

I use the plist and gruff gems to summarize my iTunes music ratings.
