“Your music consultant for iTunes”

by Jon Riggall

Is your iTunes library a mess? Do you have badly or mislabeled tracks? Rewriting tags yourself can take forever, so TuneUp Companion has been created to help you out.

TuneUp Companion sits next to your iTunes window, and has four functions. First is 'Clean', which searches for possible fits to your mislabeled tracks, and then automatically changes the file's tag. You can also search for cover art in the same way. Drag any album missing artwork into the TuneUp Companion box, and it will find suitable matches, then update your files. If you like the 'cover flow' feature on iTunes, this is a great way to make it look good.

'Now Playing' finds YouTube videos, Amazon recommendations, Google news and ticket information relating to the music you're listening to. 'Concerts' will list any performances in your area.

TuneUp Companion allows you to clean 500 songs and find 50 album covers, so once you've used them up you have to subscribe to do more. The unlimited 'Now Playing' and 'Concerts' functions might be useful to you, and the YouTube videos are a nice touch.

TuneUp Companion is a nice idea, although the subscription is not cheap for a service you might not need a great deal. I found the program to be a little slow and clunky, and unfortunately its design doesn't fit that well with iTunes.

If you have lots of files in your iTunes library that need organizing, TuneUp Companion is for you. However, the other features don't make this a program you'll want to run all the time, as it is a little ugly and sometimes slow.
