How to Organize Your Music
I have thousands of songs on my computer and some of them are missing titles, artists, etc. So when I hop on iTunes to download my feed of podcasts (like Hak5!), I use TuneUp Media to clean up some of my music.

TuneUp Media has the ability to find your songs basically by listening to them, and tell you the information for each one. You simply drag your song over to the clean up bar on the right, and TuneUp finds your songs info in a few seconds. It even gives you a choice of album art you can use.
I like TuneUp simply because I’m really organizational. There are a few bugs though… Firstly, once you donwload TuneUp, you don’t have the option to close it while in iTunes (unless this has changed recently). Second, there are two versions – free and not free. With the free version, you only have 500 songs to clean up. In the payed version- you can clean up as much as you want.

The second one is TagScanner. Tagscanner is good for someone who doesn’t like iTunes. In tagscanner, you can not only clean up the names and artists on your music, but you can also fix up the ID3 tags for each song, down to lyrics and album art. You can also export your music into a .txt or excel spreadsheet, which is pretty neat.
