TuneUp for iTunes (Mac/PC CD)

This program is brilliant as long as you disable some of it's features first. I disabled the album art first as the covers chosen will very often be of a dodgy looking compilation disc and not the correct default album. Secondly I disabled the automatic renaming of albums and stuck just to rename the track as like already mentioned it loves to compilation disc everything. But for under £20 it is nice to be able to see the name of the track rather than Hundreds of track (insert number here). You can set the program up so that it will offer you a cover and album choice to select if you want..

Received my box containg the program (and little else). Half way thru loading it onto my system it said there was an upgrade which it then downloaded (BIG mistake). The update efectively changes the package and although you may have paid for a complete package you will now find that about 33% of the facilities crippled, with you having to pay (yet again) to get the whole package. AS for the performance, well you can't just go and let it have it's way you have to check each album as it updates, things like a . or a , can very easily put it off so it finds some of the tracks and labels those ok but ignore the rest. As for any compulation albums or best off albums forget it. The software just can't cope and starts identifying each track with differing albums. Cover art appears to be a waste of time as it is finding multiple album covers for albums which have already got their album art already. Deduper is the new add-on which you have to pay extra for and you can't trust it. Lastly and possibly far more importantly the customer service which Tuneupmedia gives you little faith in the software as it's a basic pay up and shut up attitude. To sum it all up the software is useful (the bits which work) but you have to watch it like a hawk to make sure it soesn't go off and say tracks are from yet other albums which you haven't got and the support is pants. You're paying £18 pouinds for software, which is crippled by the time you've finished installing it, which you will only have to run once (if you pay attention to what you're importing/uploading you'll be making sure the tracks/albums are correctly labelled in the first place) and then watch it like a hawk when it does do something as it will go off at a tangent or else you'll find that 20 track compulation album turns into 15 albums with a couple of tracks not being recognised at all, and it doesn't cope with track 1 track 2 track 3 at all (even if you have the artist, album title and even album cover) If you think that's worth £18 there are far better ways of spending your money, honest especially since you are only renting not buying. That's right folks after a year you have to pay again or pay even more to have a livetime service (only transferable to one other machine). Sheesh this is worse than MS After using it several times (yes I am a masochist) it got even worse...... Each time you use the program it _uploads_ a listing of all your music library files/tracks/albums, why? Or am I being a little paranoid about this (remembering this is a US company and looking at the recent news about certain sites it does make you wonder) Secondly even if you do use it and it does find the correct information (as I have already said it doesn't very often) it does not correct or put into place the information Itunes use for sorting, these you have to do by hand. So value for money no, paying for software to spy on you...NO. If anybody ever listens to anything I ever say let it be this, do not waste your time and money on this software, it acts very supsiciousely, it doesn't get the information correct (I even have had one album labelled as C**P) and you are paying yearly it's not just a once only payment (at least IDFX is). Take the time and effort and you can easily find the information on the web and seeing you're going to have to do half the work by hand you may as well got the whole hog and get it right and save the money for that piece of software you honestly can't live without (this you most definitely can do witout).

Tune Up is a nifty tool for messy I Tunes library but it made my whole system unstable and crash several times until I UN-installed it finally.

My itunes completely disorganised itself and was a mess following reinstalling a new hardrive therefore I brought TUNE UP. It is good in many respects identifying tracks. However is definatly got many problems. too often the wrong names are assigned or artwork (which often just says Not Avalible). IT also does not delete multiple or phantom tracks (the ones with the ! and no location) One final point to note, it does not connect to business addresses currently - can be a issue if a student etc. I would advise you try it by downloading trial version first!

Works very well, i have thousands of iTunes, most had artist names, however did not have accurate names and albums etc. I sorted through my iTunes a few hundred at a time, trying to put all songs by an individual artist in at once. Tune-up matched about 90% of the artists and albums very effectively. Tune-up takes most of the effect out of organising your library, however it is not 100% automatic, so be prepared to spend some time with it (it matches the artist and album to your songs, you then have to confirm the match by clicking a button, Tune-up will then automatically alter all information and cover art.) I now have covers on all my music!!! If tune-up can't upload a certain cover, if you click on the cover there are more cover options, which will work! I am using it with a macbook pro and have had no problems regarding crashes. Overall; Has transformed my iTunes library, and if you are willing to put in a little effort will transform yours too...

What was quite a useful utility in earlier versions is now almost completely unusable in version 3. It is entirely automated "automagic" and unbelievably slow. Installed on a new Windows 8 machine with 4Gb ram it ran for almost 24 hours "analysing" my 5000 tracks. It seems to arbitrarily split albums of the same name and artist by assigning tracks to different genres, and obtaining cover art for many albums took and interminable time even on a high speed connection. Tuneup's own support pages are filled with similar complaints but the company seems incapable of even allowing its previous version to be obtained perhaps because it wants to connect users to blogs and other promotional sites. You will see that all favourable reviews pre-date this version. Would give zero stars if that were possible. Avoid.

I ran my entire collection through Tuneup and for about half my music it was great, added missing information and correct artwork. For the other half however it seemed to just make it up! And if you've got any foreign music you can expect it to rename all the tracks to their original language (and in my case back into Japanese kanji, so now I can't tell which song is which!) All in all, a nice idea that works sometimes, but not worth the money to only work sometimes

Tune-Up is a very disappointing product. It failed to recognize duplicates as it claimed it would--worse, I had to pay an additional $20.00 to Tune-Up after purchasing it from Amazon in order to find "unlimited" duplicates in my music files (which includes over 5,000 songs). The package as shipped limited "de-dupping" to 50 songs!! It located no more than 2 dozen duplicates--Itunes is still able to reveal over 50 remaining duplicates without Tune-Up. The product claims to find "all missing album art" but my collection is still missing album art on several dozen albums (although, admittedly, some are quite obscure). Numerous albums show the wrong cover including covers from other artists entirely. Tune-Up was a total waste of money.

Habe die Software gekauft. Konnte die aktuelle Version (2.6.5.1) von der Homepage runterladen und installieren (Windows 7) - funktionierte ohne Probleme, man muss jedoch einen Account anlegen! Leider funktioniert die Software jedoch weder mit iTunes noch mit Windows Media Player. Habe die Software gekauft um meine Musik-Bibliothek herzurichten und meine ganzen Lieder richtig zu benennen. Ich habe mich für diese Software entschieden, da TuneUp Media angeblich die gleiche Datenbank wie der iTunes Store verwendet und somit rund 90 Millionen Musiktitel im Repertoire hat. Ich konnte die aktuelle Version (2.6.5.1) von der Homepage runterladen und installieren (Windows 7) - funktionierte ohne Probleme, man muss jedoch einen Account bei TuneUp Media anlegen! Ich habe alles versucht, jedoch kommt man nicht drumherum. Leider funktioniert die Software jedoch weder mit iTunes noch mit Windows Media Player. iTunes: Bei iTunes (Version: 12.4.1.6) kann man leider nur ein Großteil der Titel bereinigen, jedoch nicht alles – konnte nur ca. 2/3 bereinigen. Leider kommt es auch vor, dass die Software falsche Titelinformationen abruft und Lieder ganz falsch benennt, was in meinen Augen nicht vertretbar ist. Mir ist lieber es Fehlen Titelinformationen als dass ein Lied flasch benennt wird. Ebenfalls sortiert die Software nicht erkannte Lieder zwar aus, erstellt damit jedoch nur eine Wiedergabeliste in iTunes. Das Problem ist dass man in iTunes diese Wiedergabelisten nicht löschen kann. Wenn also mithilfe der Software z.B. 200 Lieder aussortiert werden, kann man jedes Lied nur einzeln "per Hand" aus der Mediathek rauslöschen. Und ich habe diese Software nicht gekauft damit ich diese Arbeit habe – da kann ich gleich alles selber machen wenn kein Verlass auf die Software ist! Windows Media Player: Mit Windows Media Player (Version: 12.0.7601.19148)) funktioniert die Software überhaupt nicht. TuneUp erkennt zwar den Windows Media Player, und man kann die Titel auch "an TuneUp senden", jedoch wird nur eine Wiedergabeliste erstellt und das wars... Gereinigt wird nichts! Fazit: Software wäre prinzipiell von der Idee und den Funktionen her gut, ist jedoch unbrauchbar da man damit seine Musik-Bibliothek NICHT aufräumen kann. Ich würde dieses Produkt zurückgeben, jedoch ist der Kauf schon zu lange her. Ich habe versucht die Probleme mit TuneUp Media zu lösen, jedoch meldet sich der Support nicht mehr. Somit ist dieses Produkt ein Fehlkauf und kann nur jedem vom Kauf abraten - ist rausgeschmissenes Geld!

Ich war echt froh das Programm eine ganze Weile benutzen zu dürfen.Nun wurde es ja leider vom Anbieter abgeschaltet,warum weiß Ich auch nicht. Ich wundere Mich nur das Amazon es trotzdem noch anbietet und verkauft.Schade das es keine vergleichbares Programm gibt.

...ich habe ein paar von die neueren Versionen ausprobiert. Leider hat die Firma sein Geschäft abgegeben. Trotzdem als ich dies gefunden habe, nahm ich das Risiko und habe's gekauft. Nach Installation, fragt er nach Update, und dann wieder und dann wieder. Ich war glücklich. Bin ich wieder auf Firma Webseite und WOW! neue Geschäftsfurher hat die Firma übernommen!! Alles lauft wieder. Ich habe einige solche "Fix my iTunes" Programme ausprobiert. TuneUp klappt am besten.

My Itunes Library was a mess. This product "Tuned it UP". Works AWESOME, just as promised. Now my library is up to date with Album Artwork found or corrected. I HIGHLY recommend this product!
