AppleScript for iTunes to reformat the song/artist/album/composer title of your iTunes tracks according to the rules of proper English title case. Also corrects common song title database errors, which improperly use a grave ` instead of an apostrophe ' for contractions and possessives, and have odd spacing before and after some punctuation.
Bugs and feature suggestions can go to me on Twitter or Facebook (links below).
The current version of this script can always be found on this page.
