Tidy Up iTunes And Other Music Libraries With FixTunes

Top Tip: Click Here To Clean Your Music Library In Minutes

One of the most popular posts of all time on this site is my guide to adding artwork from the iTunes store to iTunes tracks.  However, what this post doesn’t cover is how to tidy up and add other missing information to iTunes or other music libraries such as missing artist details, album names, misspellings, genres etc.  This typically happens if you haven’t purchased a lot of your music, and after downloading you find yourself with lots of tracks that you can’t find and hence play easily with your mp3 player.  Even if you’ve purchased all of your music it can still be missing vital track details.

One option for tidying up your MP3 files is to go through each file or album one by one, find the information you need on the internet or on Amazon, and add it manually.  Now, even if you’ve only got a small music library this is going to take a long, long time.

The sensible way to fix your music library and to add missing information is to use an automatic tool that will find and correct missing track details, add missing album artwork and remove duplicates all automatically.  The best tool I’ve found that does all of this automatically is FixTunes.  This ultrasmart program can even find artwork based on misspellings or missing info.  FixTunes works with both iTunes and other MP3 players.

Here are the key features of FixTunes:

• Edit the song title, artist, album, track, year and genre tags of your music
• Fix your songs automatically, without having to type all the information yourself
• Automatically download and add album cover art images to your music files
• Look up online information on your music like artist bios and reviews with one click
• Rename the music in your library into a standard format
• Organize your music into folders according to artist, album, year or genre
• Remove duplicate music files from your collection with ease, saving the best version
• Quickly search and edit only a portion of your music collection

The automatic mode is fantastic and saves users having to  manually accept every change from FixTunes. If you have a big library, just leave it running overnight and it will work its magic overnight.

If by some chance FixTunes makes a mistake then there is a manual option that allows all details to be manually edited.

The trial version of FixTunes can be downloaded for free and works on both Macs and Windows.   It’s fully functional so you can see and use all features for a limited time.  Update: If you wish to upgrade to the full version, One Tip A Day readers can exclusively receive $5 off by entering the code DD9D6 when checking out.
