Tune+Up

Tune Up If you take a look through your iTunes music collection, you are bound to see more than a few songs that are misspelled, missing artist or album information, missing cover art, or my personal least favourite: a bunch of songs named Track 01, Track 02 and so on. These often come from downloading music off the Internet that does not have the complete track information, or from importing mix CDs for which iTunes cannot find the track info. Correcting all of these imperfections manually would be a near impossible task, but there is an answer, It is called **TuneUp**, and it makes adding missing music information a moment. Not only does it allow you to clean up your music collection, but it also has some other neat features as well. To begin using it, you will need to run the setup file from here.
 * 1) **1.** TuneUp is a plugin that works alongside iTunes.

[] Simply follow the prompts, and then open TuneUp.
 * 1) **2.** You will notice that TuneUp opens as a sidebar right next to iTunes.
 * 2) First, you will need to create an account.
 * 3) Simply enter your email address and password and select **Start** **Program**.

Then drag the files over into the right pane. TuneUp Lite edition allows 50 cleans to correct mislabeled music and 25 cover art corrections. If you are interested in cleaning your entire music library check out TuneUp’s other plans. Another great idea is to clean up a family member or friend’s music library for them, because after all who doesn’t enjoy a polished collection, right?!
 * 3.** TuneUp will open just like this.
 * 4.** To clean a song, click **Clean your mislabelled music** in the TuneUp sidebar.
 * 5.** Within a few seconds, TuneUp finds the song name, even though they are from different albums. It does this by searching a small snippet of the song against the Gracenote database. Since these suggestions are correct, select **Save All.**
 * 6.** Almost like magic, these three songs are transformed. Quite impressive, right?
 * 7.** Next, if you choose the **Cover Art** tab, TuneUp searches which albums in your music collection are missing album art, then allows you to choose from a variety of alternate covers. If you choose **Save** **All**, TuneUp will automatically select the default option. I love this feature because it allows me to take advantage of my iPod touch’s beautiful display!
 * 8.** Finally, if you start playing a song in iTunes, TuneUp will switch to the **Tuniverse** tab which allows you to watch the music video from YouTube, the artist’s bio, song recommendations, news and more. If you’re a fan of music videos like I am, then you need to check this out!
