Can Tidysongs Really Fix Your Itunes?

Remove Duplicate Songs With Rinse My Music

remove duplicate songs in itunesYes, it’s possible to remove duplicate songs within Itunes itself and completely free, but the problem with Itunes built in duplicate songs remover is it only compares the name of your song. This means if your songs are even named a bit differently or has no name at all, it won’t find your duplicate songs. As you already know, the songs you download on the internet are always named differently even if it’s the same song. So how do you fix this? It’s easy, get rinse my music.

Rinse my music doesn’t compare the songs by the title or artist, but it uses the files itself to compare and check if the files are a duplicate. This means even if your songs have no name or renamed completely differently, rinse my music will still be able to remove your duplicate songs in order to free up space on your computer.

If you have a lot of songs in your itunes library such as me, rinse my music is a must tool if you wish to keep it neat and tidy. I recently ran the remove duplicate songs feature of rinse my music on my itunes library of over 3,000 songs and it found 250+ duplicates in my library. By removing the duplicates song in my itunes library, the itunes software will load faster and it will also free up space on my computer.

Remember that rinse my music also finds album art, fix your song details, fix itunes genres, and much more along with removing the duplicates songs in your library.

My Favorite Album Art Finder Software

album art finderAs you can already tell, my favorite album art finder software is rinse my music. I’ve tried many itunes software out on the market and my two top is currently rinse my music and tuneup media, but rinse is a bit better when it comes to ease of use and how well it works.

Why should you need a album art finder? If you want your itunes library to look as “cool” as possible, then you would need to go out there and get album cover art for your songs, but how long would it take you to go out there and do that manually? Hours if you have a lot of songs you need album art for. A easy fix for this is just to go and get a album cover finder that will automatically go out there and find high quality album art for your songs.

If you don’t want to spend money or don’t currently have money to spend on a album art finder, then you can do it manually. You can do this by going to http://www.albumart.org for all of your album covers. It’s totally free. The only down fall is you have to add all of your album arts manually which will take forever if you have a lot of songs. I would recommend a software such as rinse my music if you are serious about cleaning up your itunes library.

I did a rinse my music review the other day which includes a review on rinse’s album art finder features which you should check out if you’re interested in the software. The album art finder is just one of many features included in rinse my music. You can download rinse my music for free by using the link below:

This is how you would normally delete duplicates in itunes. I honestly would not recommend this way of deleting duplicates since you are missing out on A LOT of duplicates you could delete if you use a third party software such as rinse my music. What do I mean by this?

If you are using the itunes software to delete duplicates, it will only delete duplicates by comparing the song title and the name of the artist. On the other hand, if you use a software such as rinse my music, it will compare the file itself and check if it matches the other files in your library which is the best way to find and delete duplicates. Give rinse a try, you can download rinse for free using the link below. Rinse will work for both Windows and MAC.

UPDATE: Tidysongs has been brought out by realnetworks and has been renamed to rinse my music, you can check out rinse at http://www.rinsemymusic.com. At the moment, rinse is exactly like tidysongs. The only thing that has changed is the name. I’m hoping that since it’s been brought out by a big company like realnetworks, it’ll have a big upgrade soon. Well I’m hoping anyways. Below is my review for tidysongs which applies to rinse my music also.

Tidysongs is great when it comes to finding duplicates, fixing misspelled songs, finding album art for your songs, fill in missing artists/year/genres, and much more. The thing is Tidysongs will do all of this for you automatically.

Tidysongs vs Tuneup Media

A friend of mine recently told me about a new software similar to Tidysongs (now named rinse my music) which is cheaper and does a better job. I didn’t believe it at first because I love Tidysongs, but if the price of the software is cheaper and does a better job, I don’t see the harm of trying it out and telling other people about it. Another problem is I see that a lot of people are having problems with Tidysongs from it not working on their computer to it reporting false reports. I had no problems with the software myself, so I can’t say anything bad about it.

The new software I’ve been talking about is called Tuneup Media and currently it’s $49 for a lifetime subscription. Price is no longer cheaper due to major update to tuneup media. Price has increased, but still recommended.

The features I Love about Tuneup Media:

  • Cleans mislabeled music such as “track 01″ or “unknown artist”. This feature will go out and correctly name your song including the artist’s name and song’s title name.
  • Finds missing art cover – No more gray and ugly music notes. All of your songs will be replaced by high quality album arts. Automatically.
  • Concert alerts base on the artists in your collection
  • YouTube videos, merchandise, artist bios and more.
  • Facebook connect
  • DeDuper - This is a NEW feature that was just added! Instead of just deleting duplicate songs by name, DeDuper intelligently goes out and find and removes duplicate music files from your music library using waveform recognition.
Both tidysongs (now rinse my music) and tuneup media are both recommended. You really cant go wrong with either software. You can use the link below and use the code ILUVTUNEUP for a 15%  discount which would make the price almost the same as rinse. Although you can’t go wrong with either software, I think tuneup media has the upper hand.
