Comments on: TuneUp Brings Order To Your iTunes Library (For a Fee)

So, let me get this straight: iTunes is entirely free to download and use, but another company wants to charge to “fix” my library? Why do people not have proper tags in the first place? I just imported about 1200 cds and seldom had to change a thing. As well, any downloaded material from online stores is always tagged as well. I could see how perhaps a 14 year old limewire addict may not have proper tags (I’m thinking of my cousin) but for regular music fans, I think it’s outrageous that a company will charge to do something to itunes, which in itself is FREE to begin with. This reminds me why programs like Musicmatch and Winamp are DEAD as far as serious music listeners are concerned.

I really think this job should be done by apple!! I’m kinda sick of itunes and I’m not very happy that their music is drm.. I stumbled upon a pretty cool music store http://www.polybonk.com yesterday which also offer a really nice subscription deal. From what I gather they just launched their site.

ok.. Seriously… MODS… please look at the post and compare e-mail addresses. Please delete the ones that are not from the original e-mail address. I am the only “Casey” that has posted and this is really pissing me off. I have used the program and somebody is coming in and trying to change my words. Maybe these comments should be moderated a little bit better? Hell, there is a reason why you require our e-mail address when posting.

Thanks,
Casey

The above post is not me. I still love this program. If there are MODS on this board please verify that the e-mail address match and if they dont (which they wont) please delete the post from Casey on May 18th at 6:44am.

I have finshed all of my music and I recommend it to anybody who have tag issues. like I said before THANK YOU for this program

I’ve been using this product for the last few weeks now and love the clean-up feature. Surprisingly, it’s also really fun to have cover art where I had none before.

I’ve seen the product get faster and easier to use and can’t wait to see the final version!

Keep up the good work!

I have been using this since I got the e-mail this morning. It is the best since sliced bread! I have cleaned 10 gigs of music in less than 3 hours! Very little wrong info. Maybe 100 songs max. Thank you for this great product.

I have to agree with JJ Park.
I very much wish to have something that clears up the mess iTunes creates with imported songs. But the Gracenote CDDB is not the solution, it’s the problem. This database is riddled with incoherent Band spellings, completely out-of-whack genre descriptions and all other subtle annoyances one can think of.

So i stick with the folder navigation on my iRiver. Then I know where I find my music.

Ironic that TuneUp is using the same database, Gracenote, that messed up the tags in the first place. Here in Korea, several media players use Gracenote MusicID and the data is very bad. Always need to fix the data by hand. Don’t know much about MusicBrainz. Iriver just changed its database from Gracenote to AMG. The AMG data is much better than Gracenote was. Photos, biographies, reviews, all very nice. No need to “Clean” since the tags are already clean.

TuneUp’s other features sound good, but using Gracenote to “Clean” tags is ridiculous to me.

Bob Dylan probably does fit into about eight different genres, depending on the song/album.

@Dave Donohue
I miss them. There just isn’t enough spandex in the world without them.

I’ve tried EVERY single Tag Fix application and service. They all suck. Why? because none are 100% effective and none adhere to any particular standard. So you end up with The Tubes being renamed to Tubes, The or 8 differnt genres for Bob Dylan.

I am anxious to try this service but certainly wont be hailing them as THE solution until they are actually able to accurately tag my 50k song library without causing me more pain.

@ Tim G – foot rubs more of a 2.0 feature

@delaneyomg – invites will go out later this week – we’re way past 100 already but will try to sneak in a few more

@TheFlamingoKing – thanks for reserving judgment. We, like you, have been extremely frustrated with what’s available in re: to existing “clean-up” applications. We tested what was out there and are quite confident that our solution is much more accurate and easier to use, but we’ll let you be the judge!

Thanks,

Gabe

While this looks cool, I fear it will not be able to distinguish from a hundred other mp3 utilities I’ve tried, many of them with Gracenote capabilities. Gracenote is great if you listen to the same top albums that everyone else buys, but when your collection is made up of live sets, mix tapes, radio shows, and vinyl rips like mine, Gracenote just doesn’t measure up.

I have tagged a ton of albums with MusicBrainz, and it works really well. I still have to do manual matching for around 20% of tracks and albums, but most well-named or well-ripped CDs will work automatically.

Anyway, I reserve judgment until I play with it on some mp3s. Until then, I say looks great, good luck!
