There is a trial version you can download that will clean 500 tracks. If you do and tuneup messes up the library then it kind of falls back on user inexperience.

Tip2: the album thumbnail can be expanded to show differen versions of the album artwork so you can pick out which one you like best before saving. Tuneup will thenmake all the tracks match completely. If you want ( what I do) you can then drag the the entire album back to tuneup. Click save in tuneup and iTunes will sort them to be the complete album with the artwork. If you know you have those tracks in your library, then locate those and change the info to match. Now you can expand each album in the tuneup window to see what tracks are missing. Once it's done, scan through the list for complete albums. Tip: grab 4-500 tracks and drag them into tuneup.

It's not as automatic you'd/I'd hoped, but if you learn the program and it's tricks, it's a real time saver. It does however claim that it can undo such writes. I didn't trust it to actually write the tags. Seems to 'attach' itself to iTunes as opposed to being standalone (I therefore initially couldn't find it because my iTunes window is always maximised) which also means you can't run iTunes without also running this (slow) program. Your mouse lumps over the lists, many times it didn't accept user input at all. Even if the tagging actually worked (out of 500 files - the demo maximum - only 'definitely confirmed' 3 and had 'suggestions' for around 150), it's still awful. I completely agree with the original poster. Have you actually run the software? Before posting I searched and downloaded this program and then run a few files over it. The fact I caused the problem (via mischief or mistake) in the first place is absolutely and unconditionally irrelevant. The real point is.If I take my car in for a suspension repair due to my inattentive and idiotic driving, when I pay someone who holds themselves out as being able to fix it, I (rightly) expect to get what I pay for. I struggle to justify doing it myself - it's not like they sound any different, or that anyone will notice I put Beyoncé as opposed to Beyonce. Perhaps he, unlike you (and me), doesn't want to spend hours typing this information in when he imports the CD's. in other words i want everything cleaned but my genre category!ĭont listen to this complainer, that just wants to complain because he is negative minded and immediately assumes the worse. I mean, woud you really rather type in stuff yourself? I also wrote to them suggesting that they should put a feature on there that allows you to lock certain categories like in my case genre. Just kind of keep an eye on it as it cleans your music. Granted, some of my music gets labled wrongly- but what do you is not going to be flawless being that it resorts to such a large database to find your music that is not always distinctively different from another song. Me personally, i like tune up and have been waiting for years for something like it. But if you go to tune up you will see a red arrow on the top right corner, and simply drag the music that you want changed back and presto- problem solved. I dont know if you have to do it on the same session or what. I solved the problem by using the undo option on tuneup. When I used tuneup, it messed my genre category up! I was mad initially, but instead of finding a forum and bitching like you are. Well, I listen to underground music that is not that well known as well, and I also took the time to type genres in all of my music as well that were categorized to my liking so i could make smart folders based on genre.
