REVIEW: TuneUp

By Jeff Ramos | Published: January 26, 2010

Okay, I admit it: I have a lot of pet peeves when it comes to my digital life. The biggest problem is the disorganization of all my digital media. I sort and resort my Twitter lists. Fuss around with what blogs go in what folder in Google Reader and let’s not get started with how I organize bookmarks. (I don’t. I have so many to sort through!)

The thing that gets me the most frustrated is a disorganized and poorly tagged iTunes collection. For most people, it’s not a big deal, but when you DJ for a living, it’s vital to have a well organized MP3 collection. Thankfully, we have software like TuneUp to save people like me.

Whether you get your digital music legally or illegally, organization can be a problem. ID tags are always an issue. Sometimes files you download are tagged wrong and even if you buy your music, iTunes can sometimes magically ruin your ID tags. TuneUp will fix it. It’ll make it all better. It won’t kiss your boo boos though.

TuneUp claims to fix your music “automagically” and they do not lie. It truly is automagical. While I wasn’t surprised it fixed MP3s I had of current music, I was actually quite shocked and impressed that it properly tagged all my video game music. I’m a huge video game music enthusiast and it’s extremely hard to find good quality video game music outside of spending a large sum on import CDs. (Which I do most of the time and it gets pricey. Even then, you have to manually tag those MP3s after you rip them!) It literally cured years of pent up MP3 disorganization aggression in minutes. I would pay for TuneUp again merely for clearing up my video game music collection.

Get TuneUp and stop being mad at your MP3s. It’s not their fault they don’t know their own names.
