Meta-iPod: The iTunes Cleaner
This program seems to do just about everything. If it works as well as advertised, this is a really impressive program. Here's the quickdescription from the site:
meta-iPod, the iTunes Cleaner can clean up an iTunes library with as many features as a Swiss Army Knife. From recovering ratings and play counts from your iPod to tracking down files or folders gone missing, meta-iPod analyzes all data sources containing your music to put the pieces of the puzzle back together.
Here's what all it can do:
File Metadata & iTunes Database Label Comparison
By comparing these two labels to each other, meta-iPod can tells you if your tracks are mismatched which could indicate that your track has the wrong label. After finding mismatched tracks, meta-iPod lets you fix them quickly by selecting the appropriate labels.
iPod to iTunes Track Transfer
This feature lets you quickly and easily transfer tracks from your iPod into iTunes, without having to use a .txt file. By transferring tracks using this feature you will also keep your ratings and play counts.
Album Art Download & iPod Transfer
Got album art? This feature automatically finds the tracks from iTunes with no album art, then lets you automaically search an iPod for matching artwork or download artwork from the internet.
Scan folder sources & find tracks not in iTunes
The Lost Tracks feature lets you find out what's really in your My Music folder. Do you have two copies of your music library on your computer with one just taking up space? This feature scans the folders on your computer and finds files that aren't already in iTunes.
iPod to iTunes Playlist Copy
Want to recover a playlist from your iPod? This feature lets you transfer a playlist from your iPod to iTunes. The playlist transfer will automatically determine if the tracks are in iTunes or not. If they're not in iTunes, they will be transferred, then added to the playlist.
Automatic Duplicate Track Removal
Have your ever tried to remove your duplicate tracks from iTunes, but found it tedious to go through the list removing 1 duplicate track at a time? The duplicate track analysis feature will automatically guess which track to delete so you can clean your duplicates in one fell swoop.
iPod Play Count & Rating Recovery
Did you transfer music from your iPod to your computer and you lost your ratings and labels? Or did you rate a track on your iPod and can't get that rating into iTunes? The Better Metadata feature chooses which play count or ratings are most up to date and applies that to iTunes.
iTunes No-Location Track Finder
Automatically find tracks with no location in iTunes. Next, meta-iPod will search iTunes to see if that track has a duplicate already on your computer. If no duplicate is found, then it will rapidly check other analyzed data sources to see if it can find the tracks location automatically.
Automatically Assign Ratings
By analzying the play counts and skips counts of a track, metaiPod can help you quickly assign ratings to all tracks in your library.
