TuneUp Media TuneUp
Do you have unidentified tracks, mislabeled albums, or missing artwork in your iTunes library? If so, TuneUp Media's TuneUp might be able to help. TuneUp is a an iTunes add-on that cleans up your iTunes library by identifying and filling in missing information. As the company puts it, the software "listens intelligently to your tracks by analyzing the audio waveforms and using characteristics like beats per minute (tempo), frequency range, average power in each frequency band (spectral flatness), and acoustic resonances to fix your metadata." Thanks to its Gracenote MusicID recognition technology--the same music identifying technology behind Shazam--TuneUp can clear up those mysterious unlabeled tracks in your library, fix the incorrectly labeled ones, and even find the album art you never had. The result is a much more robust, complete, and professional looking iTunes collection.
