Retrieve a 512 x 512px icon for an iOS app
#!/usr/bin/ruby
# encoding: utf-8
#
# Updated 2017-10-25:
# - Defaults to large size (512)
# - If ImageMagick is installed:
# - rounds the corners (copped from @bradjasper, https://github.com/bradjasper/Download-iTunes-Icon/blob/master/itunesicon.rb)
# - replace original with rounded version, converting to png if necessary
#
# Retrieve an iOS app icon at the highest available resolution

NOTES:
The PCRE engine (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions) is what BBEdit and TextWrangler use.
Items I'm unsure of are marked '# PCRE?'. The list while fairly comprehensive is not complete.

Script to strip various iTunes atoms from purchased AAC files via AtomicParsley.
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
# usage: stripiT.rb file1.m4a file2.m4a file3.m4a
# automatically outputs to file1 - stripped.m4a, file2 - stripped.m4a, and so on.
# Script to remove extraneous/unwanted atoms from iTunes purchased files by way of AtomicParsley.
# Output should be comparable to the atoms left over after reencoding the file in iTunes itself.
# I only care about songs, so I have no clue how well this applies to video files

Extract frames from an animated GIF, correctly handling palettes and frame update modes

'''
I searched high and low for solutions to the "extract animated GIF frames in Python"
problem, and after much trial and error came up with the following solution based
on several partial examples around the web (mostly Stack Overflow).

A script for Transmission that runs after a completed download. It scans for downloaded television shows then attempts to place them in the correct organizational directory on the local machine, removing the torrent as well.
