Fix your music library with TuneUp, your music companion

If you've ever had to transfer your iTunes library to a new computer, you know it can be quite a painful process. These days, Apple has made it easier than ever before to transfer your music library from one computer to another, but some years ago, it was not easy. I tried to move my entire iTunes library to my new computer via the external hard drive and failed miserably. After some consolidating of files, clicking through the hidden folders, importing/exporting the xml file, a good portion of my music library turned into gibberish. See below and you know what I'm talking about. I've lived with this iTunes library for many years now, but because I got so fed up, I never bothered to fix it.

Missing artist names and song titles in the iTunes library

This is the very reason why I took TuneUp Bundle for a test run. I installed the software and chose a number of songs that listed out "Unknown Artist" with "XISFKZ1" as song titles. After a quick scan, the app told me that I had 18 album matches and when I hit Save All, voila! I had the song titles and the artist names back in my library and I was a happy camper all over again. There are some songs TuneUp failed to find a match for, but I am not sweating it. I think I can live with some twenty unknown song titles and artists than one thousand.
