Cleaning up the Library

[CartoonFan]

My iTunes library, of course.

No, I don't buy things on iTunes often. But I use it for my iPod. Now Vuze came with a program called TuneUp, which magically knows all the answers. But it only worked for 100 songs before it wanted money. So I uninstalled that and installed TidySongs. This one also only worked for 100 songs, AND it SucksNutsacks. Seriously, it just looked for words that sounded like the words in my songs and made a half-assed guess on most of them.

Believe it or not, I'm actually tempted to buy TuneUp, because it's just that amazing. I tried to find a crack for it, but there were only Mac ones and the only Windows one was a really old version that's no longer compatible.

So guys, I'm wondering if y'all have any suggestions.

I guess just buy it? Do you make decisions on your own without us

by the way you should have frozen waffles for breakfast tomorrow just incase you were gonna ask

What do you mean "cleaning up your library"? Do you mean getting rid of songs you don't want?

[CartoonFan]

Sorry Irock, it's occurred to me that I've been rather vague in the opening post. By cleaning up, I mean like, getting all of the track names correct, getting all the album names correct, getting all of the artists correct, and getting all of the album artwork.

A lot of this stuff is downloaded, so there's no real universal system of numbering or track labeling, and I could never be bothered to input the proper titles myself when I first got them. So now I have a huge mass of tracks that have bizarre or incorrect labels.

Also, iTunes itself has messed up some of these as well. Even when I stick a legitimate CD in, they still make mistakes.

Also, @Anski: Nice to see you too. Maybe I'm quoting the wrong person, but I'm fairly certain it was you who once said, "People still buy things?" in an older topic.

[Sophist]

yeah it blows my mind people buy shit still

i'm not going to tell you not to spend money cause it's your loss!

Do it manually. Auto-tag programs screw things up sometimes, making it a massive hassle to fix.

(Mind you, the only trouble I've had with broken tags was a few albums I got off my brothers iPod, you should really find a different place for your music downloads if they're coming untagged.)

Do it manually! and dont use itunes

Yeah, doing it as you go is the best option. Obviously, doing all your songs at once is a pain, but if you do it as you go, you only do really maybe 20 songs at most at one time, and even then, most of the information is the same stuff so it's not hard to remember.

My friend did it in one sitting, he just put his tv on and sat there doing it. Boring but rewarding

I assume 2009 would be good, yes? But I don't know for sure...

included crack, requires utorrent or bittorrent to open. I suggest utorrent.

Thank you very much for your responses guys. I guess I'll either pay for TuneUp, crack it temporarily like Link suggested, or do everything manually.

The only problem with doing things manually is finding album artwork. I suppose google images can help with most of that, but some of these are hard to find perfectly scanned. However, I think doing things manually is my best bet. I'll just have to chock it up to another tedious process on my list of tedious processes that need doing.
