iTunes Library Inspection

Did your iTunes music library grow and grow? And the same artist is still always spelled the same way? Even though you think of The Beatles as Pop, in your library it is sometimes listed a Folk? Have you deleted the files for some songs on your hard drive, but they are still listed in iTunes? Possibly with an exclamation mark next to them?

Does R.E.M. show up as three different artists on your iPod: REM, R.E.M. and REM.?

Would you like to fix this?

Then beaTunes has a unique feature made just for you. We call it Library Inspection.

Run it and it will show you all the little discrepancies in your library. Then it lets you decide on a case by case basis what corrections you would like to make.

While the free trial lets you find issues, it does not let you apply solutions by simply clicking on them. For one-click solutions you will need to purchase a license.

Here's how it works

• Get the free beaTunes trial version for Windows or Mac and install it on your computer
• Start beaTunes
• When asked, whether you want to analyze the library, click no, unless you are interested in beaTunes' automatic beat per minute (BPM) detection and a sophisticated playlist creation feature
• When asked, whether you would like to have your library inspected, click yes (if not asked, go to Tools > Inspect Library)
• After beaTunes has inspected the library, it shows this inspection dialog:
  
  
  
  
• Now just click on one of the suggested solutions and let beaTunes take care of the necessary changes (please note, that this feature is disabled in the trial version)
• Move on to the next issue

That's it! Couldn't be any easier, right?
