The Unoriginator

Bulk remove those pesky "(Original Mix)" suffixes from every track in your iTunes library, so that they scrobble better to Last.fm

Usage

  1. python3 -mvenv unoriginator
  2. . ./unoriginator/bin/activate
  3. pip install mutagen
  4. ./unoriginator.py

How to get iTunes to see the changes

  1. Make a Smart Playlist of "any of the following":
ends with `(original mix)`
ends with `(original)`
ends with `- original mix`
ends with `- original`
  1. Select all the tracks

EITHER

  1. Get Song Info
  2. Change something minor, such as toggling the "Compilation of songs by different artists" flag

OR

  1. Follow the guide here to create a 'Refresh' menu option in iTunes (Mac only)

Pre Catalina:

Put the following into a file named /Library/iTunes/Scripts/Refresh.scpt

tell application "iTunes"
 repeat with aTrack in selection
   try
       refresh aTrack
   end try
 end repeat
end tell

Catalina or later:

Put the following into a file named /Library/Music/Scripts/Refresh.scpt

tell application "Music"
 repeat with aTrack in selection
   try
       refresh aTrack
   end try
 end repeat
end tell
