Tune Sweeper is a specialized music management software developed by Wide Angle Software designed to clean, repair, and organize cluttered music libraries. It operates as a companion utility that directly integrates with Apple iTunes on Windows and the Mac Music app.
The utility streamlines digital music maintenance through several core features: ๐งน Smart Duplicate Removal
Automated Scans: The software scans your active music library and groups identical tracks together.
Keep Selection Preferences: Instead of deleting files manually, you can set rules to automatically keep the highest-quality track, the most recently played file, or the version added first.
Playlist Integrity: When duplicates are wiped from your main library, the application automatically cleans up corresponding playlist references to avoid dead links. ๐ ๏ธ Library Optimization & Repair
Digital Fingerprinting: Tune Sweeper analyzes the acoustic signature of mislabeled tracks to download accurate metadata, correcting wrong song titles, missing albums, and blank artist fields.
Download Missing Artwork: It automatically crawls online databases to locate and embed high-resolution album covers into tracks that lack them.
Fix Broken Links (Exclamation Marks): It purges dead track entries from your software interface if the underlying file was moved or deleted from your hard drive. ๐ File Synchronization
Tracks Not in iTunes/Music: The app can reverse-scan your hard drives or external storage to identify music files that exist on your computer but haven’t been imported into your player yet, adding them with one click.
Apple Music Tracking: It explicitly identifies and displays which tracks in your library belong to an active Apple Music subscription, allowing you to track what songs would disappear if your subscription lapses. ๐ Step-by-Step Quick Start Guide
