Verdict: Enables you to keep your current iTunes library organised
As we migrate to larger capacity hard drives, we are now using our computer to store our music collection. Although we still have our CD collection, with the flexibility of having our entire music database at our fingertips, it’s not all-too-easy simply to play our music via our PC.
The trouble with storing all your audio files on your computer is keeping the collection organised. With all those files in one place, it inevitable there will be issues, especially as many users often download audio from different sources, will extract their music from a CD or even from old LPs and tapes. Downloaded audio can contain misspelt tiles or missing artwork and it’s these small discrepancies that contribute to a disorganised music library.
TuneUp is a useful plug-in for iTunes that helps you to maintain an organised audio library. Use it to identify and correct any incorrect track spelling using the Gracenote database, as well as search for any missing artwork. It can do this in batches, instead of you manually correcting individual files.
The application resides on the right-hand side of the standard iTunes interface, so it’s easy to access. Although it’s reasonably small application, it does help to keep your music library organised and it’s especially useful if you have a large collection of music.
Note that this will only work with the PC version of iTunes.
