If you have an iTunes library that's missing a few beats (you know, like artist info, track names, and album cover art), then you must head over to TuneUp. 'Cause not only is it a drag to spend hours loading up your iTunes library with all your vintage (read: oh-so-early millennium) CDs that you just can't let go of (or albums that you've had burned to discs), but it's even worse to have to go back and enter all the track names and artist info. Now, TuneUp does all that work for you.
For a limited, free membership, you can have TuneUp whip 100 songs and 50 album covers into proper shape. But if your library is pretty expansive, you can do a yearly or lifetime membership for $20 or $30 and let TuneUp analyze and enter your music's data for life. But that's not all that TuneUp does. Find out about a cool bonus feature when you read more.
Besides filling in the blanks, TuneUp gives you concert alerts and reminders based on your music library, so you never miss a show by one of your favorite artists. And guess what? Alerts come free.

Gabe Adiv here, CEO of TuneUp. Thanks for the great write up!
To share the love, we've created a promo code for Geek Sugar readers for 15% off of the Gold version. Just enter GEEKSUGAR at checkout and you're good to go.
Happy cleaning (and cover art finding, and concert going, and YouTube watching......)
1I'm looking forward to using this - my library is a MESS! A lot of my stuff is leftover from downloading from Napster back in the "good old days," so to speak, so a lot of the tags are messed up. Add this to the fact that I've swapped a lot of music with my parents (my dad can't properly label his music to save his life) and I recently added my fiancee's library to mine. On top of mislabeled and non-labled items, a lot of my music desperately needs cover art!
I'll let everyone know how it goes after giving it a spin this weekend!
2Just bought the lifetime subscription using the geeksugar discount. Worked great! My cover art collection is beauty to behold!
3Cool service, but my OCD-like tendencies got the better of my iTunes library a long time ago.
I actually did sit down and do it manually. But the coverflow is just so pretty.
4Me, too. The only thing I'm anal-retentive about is my iTunes library. But all 80GB of my library is organized and filled in perfectly.
5If, on the other hand, $20 seems like a lot of money just to label your tracks, try http://MusicBrainz.org
6It's basically the exact same concept, but free and community-run.
Same here, bethinabox
7I tried the free version and only converted 15 or so songs before it crashed. I'm not willing to plunk down cash (discounted or not) for a buggy app!
8Does it work for MAC users?
9@aistea311 it works for mac users (http://tuneupmedia.com/download)
@bunnyOhare - If you're on Vista and crashing they have a patch for you: (http://www.tuneupmedia.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2050#post2050)
10I downloaded the dmg and installed it. Maybe I am dense but it isn't working? Downloading musicbrainz now.
11I used the free version and it worked well. Then I bought the software and found it to be very buggy and unpredictable. Sometimes, it works very well other times it crashes repeatedly. It crashes whether I clean one song or many or if I use it late at night or during the day. I have cleaned up about 5k songs but it's been painful and requires persistence. Only buy the software if you are a neat freak and are patient.
12It says the Promo code is EXPIRED wtf?!?!?!
13Promo has expired, any other bright ideas anyone?
