As is, the price is not bad at all and I do have my fingers crossed that it will evolve as time goes by. TuneUp does a good job at finding and fixing missing information, but do wish it was faster and had a less interactive mode. Hmmm, it looks like mine still has a LONG way to go… There’s also an Analyze screen that will show you a graph of what specific information is missing out of your iTunes library. It shows dates, times, prices and even links to purchase tickets. The concerts tab is useful for keeping up on shows in your area. Honestly, I wish I could turn off this screen because when I am working on cleaning up my library, I don’t want to automatically load this info and switch over to this tab every time I click play on a song. While a song is playing the Now Playing screen will give you options to other content such as YouTube videos, concert notifications for your area, other song purchase recommendations and news. If you have a big library, it will take quite a bit of time. So again, this is an interactive feature that will take time to use. You can then pick the one you want and have it save that one. If you click on the art for a song, it will show the various choices. I pressed the Save All button and came back hours later and it had only fixed about 25 of them… That’s when I noticed that each song could have several cover art choices associated with them. The first time I tried this feature, I had 427 missing cover art. TuneUp does have a feature where it will scan your whole library for missing artwork and allow you to click a Save All button to fix them in one shot. I would have to click on one of the other tabs and then go back to the clean tab before it would allow me to drag and drop the tracks.
Quite often, I would drag music to the window and it wouldn’t accept them. Also I had a lot of beach balling (Mac speak for an app that freaks out and is too busy to allow access) activity going on with this plugin. Dragging chunks of music at a time and waiting for it to find the info so I could click the Save All button got old really fast for me. There really needs to be a one click do it all kind of button. Although it does a very good job finding and fixing track information, I found the whole process to be slow and and monotonous. This is the feature I used the most while testing this plugin. When this happens, you’ll have to click Save on each match instead of allowing the Save All button to do all the work. Sometimes TuneUp won’t be sure that it’s found the right data for your tracks and will list them as likely matches. First you drag the music to the window and then wait for it to find matching track info in the database (you obviously have to be online for this tool to work…) and then you click the Save All button for it to apply the changes. The problem here is that you have to use the tool interactively. I’ve mainly been doing several albums at a time and have found that it’s pretty slow even doing less than 50 songs at a time. They suggest that you do about 500 tracks at a time. To clean your mislabeled music, you have to select the songs in the main iTunes panel and drag them into the TuneUp window.
#Itunes library manager windows install#
The install is simple and once completed, it will add a window to the right side of iTunes, with the TuneUp options.īasically, there are 4 main features: Clean mislabeled music, Album art finder, Now playing and Concerts.
