What's up everybody?
This is Andy with MyTechMethods, and in this video I will be showing you how to clean up
your iTunes library.
So we all know how hard it is to keep your iTunes library organized with all the correct
song and artist information and genre, all that good stuff especially when you have hundreds
and even thousands of songs in your iTunes library.
It's nearly impossible to do that manually.
That's why you need an application like Neat Music, the one I'll be showing you how to
use today, to clean up your iTunes library.
What this does it uses intelligent music recognition.
It completes missing artist, track, and album information even genre.
All the information for songs.
It corrects annoying "untitled" or "unknown" track info.
It adds missing album artwork, groups scattered album songs, and organizes all your music
for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod.
The first thing you want to do is click the link in the video description below.
It'll look like this.
It'll take you directly to the free download page for Neat Music.
It works on Windows computers so if you're on a PC this will work.
You can try this application out completely for free with this download button.
It'll fix up to 100 songs in your iTunes library for free with the free version.
If you have more than 100 songs in your iTunes you can go ahead and buy the unlimited version
at a special discounted price so you can fix your entire iTunes library.
I'm going to show you how to use it right now.
Once you download it, go ahead install it on your computer.
Then open up iTunes then open up the Neat Music application.
Now this is what the NeatMusic home page looks like when you first open it up.
It gives you a preview of your iTunes library here at the bottom.
As you can see if I go back to my iTunes I have these songs that I have no information
for.
I have no idea what the song name, or artist name, or what album, what genre, anything.
There's no album artwork or anything like that on these.
So it would take me forever to do that manually, but with Neat Music it does that automatically
for me.
So if you go back to Neat Music I can select what songs I want to get the information for,
and if I want to get information for all these songs in my library I can just select the
one at the very top, scroll down and then hold the shift key down on my keyboard, and
select the bottom.
What that does it selects every song in between the top and bottom so every song in my iTunes
library right now.
And then all you have to do is just click this Identity button right here, and it will
identify all the song info for all the selected songs right here.
So go ahead and click the identity button.
And it's very fast.
It only takes about one second per song to get the information.
Once it's done you'll see this red icon for success, and you can click on each song.
It gives you a little preview of what it has found for that song.
It's the information it found.
So this is the correct information and all you have to do is if you want to save that
information in your iTunes just select, again select all the songs so click the top one,
scroll down, hold shift on your keyboard, select the bottom one, then click this Save
button right here.
And it'll import all the information into your iTunes, cleaning it up automatically
with all the correct track names, artist names, album names.
And Neat Music also gives you the ability to get all the album artwork.
So if I click the Get Album Art tab at the top, I can go down here and it gives me a
list of albums that I have.
And I can do the same thing.
I can shift, hold down shift, select all the albums then click Get Album Art.
And if I select one album it'll give me the album artwork for that album.
It gives you the standard album art work.
It also gives you high quality versions.
I usually just go with the standard so if I double click that it'll import it into iTunes.
And I'll have the album artwork on that album.
I can do the same thing for this one.
Double click on this one, and my album art work will be imported for that album.
Then all I have to do is go back into my iTunes, and there everything is.
It has all the correct song information, the correct album information, the album artwork
- everything.
And it did it within a few seconds.
That is how to clean up your iTunes library automatically, quickly, and very easily.
That's with the program called Neat Music.
You can download the free trial version with the link in the video description below.
